EDITORS COMMENTS
La Querelle des chiens et des chats et celle des chats et des souris," or "The Quarrel of Cats and Dogs, and that of Cats and Mice," is an exquisite hand-colored etching by Johann Christoph Teucher, published in France in 1759. This charming work of art depicts a lively scene of cats and dogs engaged in heated arguments, while mice observe from a nearby chest. The intricate details of the etching are brought to life through delicate hand-coloring, adding depth and vibrancy to the scene. The image is set in an indoor environment, with the quarrelsome felines and canines inhabiting an attic space. A window opens up to the outdoors, allowing a glimpse of the French countryside beyond. The location is further enhanced by the presence of Houdrie of Paris, a popular French cat character of the time, who is depicted in the foreground, observing the scene with a smirk. The etching is a testament to the 18th century's fascination with animals and their behaviors. The quarrelsome nature of the cats and dogs is captured with great detail, adding a sense of humor and whimsy to the piece. The use of color adds a touch of elegance and sophistication, making it a desirable addition to any art collection. This work of art is a masterpiece by Johann Christoph Teucher, a renowned German engraver, and Jean Baptiste Oudry, a French painter. The collaboration between these two artists resulted in a stunning piece that continues to captivate audiences today. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., is fortunate to have this piece in its collection, allowing visitors to appreciate the beauty and intricacy of this hand-colored etching.
