About this work

Baker throwing a cat into an oven next to a poem about a cat that ate the baker's cheese and therefore must be punished by going into the oven; without indicated melody. On a loose sheet is still a couplet added (on thinner paper in Gesina's handwriting) about the lawyer who hired the cat.
