Other notable guinea pig artworks include a miniature by Flemish artist David de Coninck, which features two plump cuyes sniffing a bunch of grapes; Felice Boselli\u2019s <em>Still Life with a Pigeon and Guinea Pig<\/em> (c.1690) and Jakab Bogd\u00e1ny\u2019s <em>Capuchin Squirrel Monkey, Two Guinea Pigs, a Blue Tit and an Amazon St Vincent Parrot with Peaches, Figs and Pears in a Landscape<\/em> (1710\u201320), in which two inquisitive guinea pigs inspect a pear. One portrait of three children by an unknown artist depicts a seven-year-old girl cradling a podgy cuy in her arms, while a boy next to her clutches a bird. Dated around 1580, this is believed to be the oldest English representation of a guinea pig and suggests the early adoption of the animal among elites as a pet. It is notable that in many of these paintings, guinea pigs are portrayed in the act of eating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We may trace the guinea pig\u2019s global career via representations of the animal in art.
