Mid-Morning Open Thread

A Boy and a Girl with a Cat and an Eel
Judith Leyster
My first thought was that this is a spoof, but a quick look at some of the artist's other work reassured me that she was simply a lunatic with a fine eye for capturing oddities on canvas.
And She was a damned fine artist. In a strange way she reminds me of some of the great commercial artists of the 20th century like Cappiello because of the facial expressions of some of her subjects.
