I like that..... but the wine lover and OCD in me is cringing at the lack of secure mounting for the wine bottle & glass .

It’s not called OCD, it must be CDO. The letters must be in order. They must.

I'm so glad that the person who prepared that meme was considerate enough to have disguised that word meaning intoxicated.

I was interested in what the imagery in the painting was all about, so I had a quick search:

In this portrait we are dealing with the need to reign in lust, an admonition usually found in portraits of boys often symbolized by an accompanying goat. It was believed that girls were born with an innate sense of shame and generally required less discipline than boys but were still capable of succumbing to passion. In Cuyp’s depiction the suppression of carnal desires is represented by the enraged cat, the traditional symbol of lust, being tempted yet restrained from the object of its desire – the fish. The courting couple of the background serves to underline the message. The distant castle can be linked to the idea of the palais d’amour which featured in late-medieval imagery from the Garden of Love a theme which had remained popular well into the seventeenth century. https://www.steigrad.com/cuyp-jacob-a-4-year-old-girl-with-a-cat-and-a-fish​

So now you know.

‘innate sense of shame’
You need to watch the Dave Allen ‘Adam & Eve’ story on YouTube
One segment does go into the ‘shame’, & how very different it could have been, depending on the body park (elbows, or noses…)

A totally wonderful tale, but ‘Snakes & shame’ from about 3:50 onwards
