Hanging birdcage from The Pedlar
…a second bird, probably a titmouse or chickadee [Silver, 2006, 411:note 31; de Jongh, 2000, 43]. Of course, it might be possible to see this bird outside its normal cage context as escaped and wild; images of children, as Bedaux has indicated, are shown with such pets as symbols of their own capacity to be taught and disciplined [Silver, 2006, 411:note 31; de Jongh, 2000, 43; Bedaux & Ekkart, 2000, 19-21, 148-149, no. 26; Cats, 1642; Swelinck, 1627]. (p. 259)
