"Two Children Teasing a Cat" is a painting by the Italian Baroque artist Annibale Carracci, believed to have been created in the late 16th century, around 1587-1588. The artwork is a striking example of Carracci's skill in capturing everyday life with a blend of naturalism and humor. The painting is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

The painting depicts a playful yet unsettling scene in which two children are seen interacting with a cat. One child holds the feline by the scruff of its neck, while the other offers it something from a plate, possibly a morsel of food or a live creature, as the cat turns its head with an expression that could be interpreted as curiosity or distress. This interaction is a testament to Carracci's ability to portray complex emotions and actions in his subjects.

Annibale Carracci was a pivotal figure in the development of the Baroque style of painting, and his work often included elements of realism and classical idealization. "Two Children Teasing a Cat" is an example of Carracci's genre scenes, which often depicted ordinary people engaged in everyday activities. The painting's composition, use of color, and the rendering of textures and expressions showcase Carracci's mastery of his medium.

The artwork has been analyzed for its potential allegorical meanings, as well as its reflection of human-animal relationships during the period in which it was created. It also provides insight into societal attitudes towards children and animals during the late Renaissance. "Two Children Teasing a Cat" remains an important work for the study of Annibale Carracci's oeuvre and the broader context of Italian Baroque art.
