PORTRAIT OF A GIRL HOLDING A BREEZEL WITH A DOG AT HER SIDE Jacob Gerritsz. Cuyp (1594-1652). Dutch school. The pretzel, an ambiguous attribute, often symbolizes the struggle between good and evil. In the hand of a child it refers to the ephemeral nature of life and should be interpreted as a symbol of vanity. The dog could represent fidelity and the need for discipline in young children.
