comparison of sofonisba and leyster painting of the children

This Painting is by Judith leyster. It is called Two Children and a Cat. Like her other painting this one show the children enjoying life. The children in her paintings look more like grownups than children. The cat become the object that replaces the dog in her picture.

Sofonisba Anguissola painting of the children are more serious. They have the dog in stead of the cat. Thier clothes look much more expensive. The children look like they mean business and their is no time for play.
