EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Children Teaching Cat Dance Dancing Lesson" we are transported back in time to witness a delightful scene of youthful innocence and imagination. Painted by Jan Havicksz. Steen between 1660-1679, the artwork showcases a group of children eagerly attempting to teach a cat how to dance. Gathered around a table, the children are fully engrossed in their mission. One girl plays a flute with utmost concentration, while another child tries to encourage the feline dancer with gentle strokes. The atmosphere is filled with excitement as the dog barks cheerfully, adding an element of liveliness to this enchanting moment. As we explore further, our eyes are drawn upstairs where a man gazes through a window, perhaps observing this amusing spectacle from afar. On the right side of the painting hangs a lute on the wall, hinting at other musical endeavors taking place within this vibrant household. This artwork beautifully captures not only the joyous interaction between children and animals but also highlights their innate curiosity and desire for exploration. It serves as a reminder that childhood is filled with endless possibilities and boundless creativity. The Liszt Collection has preserved this masterpiece for us all to enjoy—a timeless representation of innocence and playfulness that transcends generations. Let it inspire us to embrace our own inner child and find delight in life's simplest pleasures—just like these children teaching their furry friend how to dance!
