![The Challenge, Dick and Bingo [1859]: View of a cat and a dog set in a domestic interior. On the left side of the composition is a piece of furniture covered in a velvet-like, dark green fabric, potentially a chair. On this furniture sits a white cat, whose body is angled slightly toward the viewer. Its ears are back (in annoyance) and its front paw is lifted. To the right in the foreground is a black and white dog, who faces toward the left toward the cat. One of its front paws is lifted at the cat, while is other is hooked on to the furniture. In the background, behind the dog, is a table covered by a red cloth. Placed on this table is a basket filled with what appears to be more fabric. The two halves of color creates a division between the side of the composition with the dog, and that of the cat.](https://d8e7jbdw4fu0e.cloudfront.net/14483/68034240-c4c9-11f0-9589-51b88073b250-v4myU89.lg@2x.jpg)
