Apen en honden is a 1829 oil by Vincent De Vos, depicting Dog, held at Groeningemuseum.
This painting depicts a scene with two monkeys and three dogs in a room. The monkeys are dressed in human-like clothing, with one sitting on a bench and the other standing beside it. The dogs are positioned around the room, with one lying on the floor and another sitting next to the bench. The room has a rough, textured wall and a dark-colored frame around the painting. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the scene, with the light source coming from the left side of the painting. The overall atmosphere is one of quiet contemplation, with the animals appearing to be engaged in their own thoughts.
