This 18th-century etching by Johannes (II) Kannewet, titled "De Katte is / Alhier gewis; Een visken wil zy eeten: / Maar katten fel / En muyzen snel; Zal zy ook niet vergeeten", depicts a seated cat with a fish in its mouth. The artwork is a classic example of Dutch animal printmaking, showcasing the intricate detail and realism characteristic of the genre. The inscription below the cat indicates it was created by Kannewet, a book seller and printmaker in Amsterdam. The Rijksmuseum holds this piece, a testament to its cultural and artistic significance.
