A Boy and a Girl with a Cat and an Eel
Artist: Judith Leyster (Dutch, 1609 - 1660)
Original Dimensions: 23 3/8" x 19 1/4"
Location: National Gallery of Art, London
About Artwork: (About 1635) "He who plays with cats gets scratched’ – in other words, he who looks for trouble will get it. This is an old Dutch motto that appears to be a possible source for Judith Leyster’s cheerful picture, and it’s been suggested that the painting was intended as both delightful entertainment and a warning. In other Dutch morality pictures of the time, a little girl would have been expected to show a good example; this one has an older brother to lead her astray. She has a wicked twinkle in her eye and the fingers of her hand curl round the cat’s tail, ready to give it a tug. Leyster has captured the boy’s half-guilty, half-unashamed expression as he teases the cat – he seems to be testing just how far he can go." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
