La querelle des chiens et des chats et celle des chats et des souris (The Quarrel of Cats and Dogs, and that of Cats and Mice)

Johann Christoph Teucher after Jean-Baptiste Oudry

National Gallery of Art

Two large cats are in an attic space, each holding a mouse. The color palette includes browns, grays, beiges, blues, and reds. The cats are on the floor facing left. Some books and a chest are on the left side, and a window shows rooftops and a chimney under a cloudy sky. The attic has exposed beams sloping down from the peaked roof.
