Jan Steen’s oil-on-canvas painting, “Children Teaching a Cat to Dance, Known as ‘The Dancing Lesson’” (1660s-1670s), captures a lighthearted scene from everyday Dutch life. The painting portrays children teaching a cat to dance with music and a dog looking on. Steen's painting is a delightful example of genre painting, a style that emerged in the Netherlands in the 17th century focusing on everyday life and often humorous situations.
