I looked up 'cat's paw' and it led me to more Landseer. His most well known work may be 'Monarch of the Glen.' Not to our tastes now, but a Victorian show-stopper.

But for me the most affecting is 'Man proposes, God disposes.'

Those are pretty wicked looking polar bears. I think this may have been meant to refer to the Franklin Expedition.

I would say Landseer did animals well, but some of then seem pretty malicious.
