Gaetano Chierici - Catastrophe, 1886

      The girl may have been eating when a horde of ducks rushed in with incredible force. The girl was so startled that she fell off her chair, shattering the plate and the vase. As the title suggests, it's a "catastrophe".

      Meanwhile, the mother cat and kitten on the left are on maximum alert. The mother cat in the foreground is clearly in attack mode. She may be trying to protect not only her kittens but also her daughter. Mothers are great.

      The kitten on the top left, who can't comprehend what's happening and is curious about the duck, is also adorable.
