About this work

This image is a black-and-white sheet music cover. A man in fancy clothes—hat, coat, and striped pants—stands confidently in the center. Around him float odd creatures: a cat, a rat, a dog, and a goat, all tangled in swirling lines. The title at the top reads *The Ratcatcher’s Daughter*, and the bottom credits the composer, Sam Cowell. The cityscape in the background looks busy, with buildings and a bridge. If you like this mix of humor and city life, check out Realism next—it’s all about everyday scenes with a twist.
