Two children teasing a cat

Two Children Teasing a Cat is an oil painting on canvas created c. 1587–1588 by the Italian painter Annibale Carracci, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, which acquired it in 1994.

Previously attributed to Agostino Carracci, Roberto Longhi gave it its present attribution, now largely accepted. No documents survive on its commissioning and so its dating is purely on stylistic grounds. This places it in the artist's relative youth, when he was still producing several genre works. The influence of Tintoretto and other Venetian artists is evident, placing it at the end of the 1580s, at which time the artist is known to have been staying in Venice.
