I would like a statistical overview of all the cats in the collection. Can you break this down for me?
Oh, I found some interesting objects related to cats in the collection. Here are a few of them:
-

-
Mr. Symon Episcopius van Amsterdam: This is a portrait of Simon Episcopius, a theologian, at the age of 40 in 1623. It is based on a painting by Dirck Pietersz Bontepaert and can be found in the collection of the Remonstrant community in Rotterdam. (Allard Pierson Museum)
-
Over de waarde der katatone symptomen: This is a dissertation from 1918 about catatonic symptoms. (Allard Pierson Museum)
