About this work

A stately cat in a tailored suit, top hat and carrying a cane is about to leave a warm, classical room. Behind him, mice feast on bread and cheese. This playful scene illustrates the proverb ‘When the cat’s away, the mice will play’. The cat represents authority, while the mice enjoy their freedom. Beneath the humour lies a question about human nature: how do we behave when no one is watching?
