Belgian artist, Franciscus Melzer, was born in Antwerp and primarily painted genre scenes, portraits and still lifes. His scenes often depicted groups of rowdy revellers either drinking or feasting.
He was active from approx. 1840 to 1860 and worked in the painting tradition of the Flemish masters of the 17th and 18th century. The faces of his characters reminiscent of the almost caricatural faces of those of the paintings of Bruegel. Meltzer was fond of sketches full of humor, which is portayed in this painting. The gentleman in the centre takes of his hat and and screams in shock by what is unfolding in front of him. A cat sitting on the table scratches his hand. The rest of the company can't hold back their laughter, the lady in the background watches the scene from a distance. This type of genre of paintings often also had a moralizing message, such as 'When you get into mischief you can expect to get scratched'.

Depcited is a boy busy fleaing a dog. The boy sits on a chair with the dog on his lap. On a table on the right there is a book and a pen. On a wooden bench lies the boy's hat.
What is unique about this painting by Ter Borch, is the relationship that is depicted between human and animal. Mostly animals like dogs where depicted as an attribute in paintings in the 17th century, and sometimes used to symbolize certain character traits. This boy is lovingly caring for his dog, which he is giving his full attention.
Another interesting detail is that Ter Borch's brother Moses, was probably the model for this painting. Ter borch often used family members as models for his paintings. Moses was also a very talented painter and draughtsman.
Several copies of this work by Ter Borch are known. One of these copies is in the collection of the Dutch Rijksmuseum (Image included in the image gallery (last image)).
The original painting is in the collection of the Alte Pinakothek museum in Munich, Germany.
