Amsterdam, Holland
Ejeren er kendt. Om det er udstillet i dag, siger museet ikke, og at gætte har vi ikke lært.
In the 17th century, and even now, portraying animals as humans was a popular way of conveying a humorous or satirical message. According to Adriaen van de Venne, the ‘foolish animals’ in his work stand for the seven deadly sins. The dancing cat and dog in this drawing represent Lust and the rats scuttling around Wrath.
