Two Children with a Cat

1629
Oil on canvas, 61 x 52 cm
Private collection

This painting is strongly reminiscent of Frans Hals's depictions of children from this period, both in its diagonal composition and its exuberance. It was copied from a lost painting by Hals known from an engraving by Cornelis Danckerts.
