Guinea pigs in art

There is a property in the New Forest area, England, called Breamore House.
If you visit go on a tour through the house, and when you're in the dining room, take a look at the painting above one of the doorways.

The painting is by David de Connick and it has a couple of guinea pigs in it.

From the time I saw that painting I started to note other paintings that included guinea pigs in them. The next place I saw a guinea pig in a painting was in the Museo del Prado. The painting was by Jan Brueghel.

See the collection images found with guinea pigs in them at:
