Work
Noterman painted mainly scenes with animals including portraits of dogs as well as scenes involving cats and dogs. Noterman was particularly interested in the subject of ''singeries'', which are humoristic paintings and etchings of monkeys engaging in human activities. The monkeys in the scenes are often dressed in costumes which adds comedy to their 'aping' of a specific human action (often a vice such as smoking or gambling) or occupation such as a dentist, lawyer, painter, art critic, etc. Noterman's work shows a growing interest in realism in painting in Belgium.
