JAN VAN BIJLERT. Girl Teasing a Cat, c1630. Creator: Jan van Bijlert.

Girl Teasing a Cat, c1630. A child teasing a cat is a frequent subject in Dutch art; it refers to the idea that (sexual) teasing can lead to a painful scratching. That this mischievous girl is partially disrobed makes the consequences more obvious and erotic-since her bared skin teases the viewer as well. Her voluptuousness and apparent cheerfulness suggest a brothel, not the everyday life of children.
