The face of this monkey newly revealed to science reminds me of nothing so much as late Egyptian funerary portraits. The stylized ones with the elongated faces and soulful eyes.

That monkey is wise beyond its years.

The Internet provides! (http://www.whatsontianjin.com/news-4578-lesula-new-monkey-species-with-blue-buttocks-found-in-dr-congo.html) (A bit overexposed and washed out, tho)

I couldn't find the specific funerary portrait I was thinking of, which in my memory bears a striking resemblance to the monkey's face in the photo. Alas!
