Dese kat / en snoept niet 1761 - 1804

"Dese kat en snoept niet" is an 18th-century Dutch print that depicts a seated cat with a somewhat haughty expression. Created by the workshop of Jacobus van Egmont, the print features a highly detailed depiction of the cat's fur and anatomy, illustrating the skilled craftsmanship of the artist. The print likely served as a satirical commentary on feline behavior, with the inscription highlighting the cat's reluctance to "sweets," a playful jab at the animal's mischievous nature. Today, the print remains a fascinating glimpse into the artistic and cultural sensibilities of 18th-century Netherlands, showcasing the popularity of animal prints in this era.
