Not overt or anything, but the intent was clear.

Singerie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singerie
Singerie is the French word for "Monkey Trick". It is a genre depicting monkeys apeing human behavior, often fashionably attired, intended as a diverting sight, always with a gentle cast of mild satire. "Pre-Darwinian theories were made visible over several centuries in singerie paintings, anthropomorphic images of monkeys, suggesting a common hereditary link;"[1] and the "chimpanzee tea party" with dressed-up chimps was a popular feature even at progressive zoos into the 1950s.[2] Singeries were popular among French artists in the early 18th century, though the term is most usually reserved for a type of decorative painting associated with French Rococo, singeries are an old idea: C. Alfred detected a love of singerie that he found characteristic of the late Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt.[3]
