Disappointment
(18th and 19th Centuries )
A red-haired infant boy, enclosed in a wheeled wooden walker, angrily pursues a cat across the floor. In the right foreground lies an apple and one of the child's stockings. In the background appear a rococo-style armchair and a baroque-style cupboard, rendered in light wood with contrasting panels of black ebony, raised on baluster legs.
