The Time Caller

Sender: Lilla
Hugo Simberg, Finnish Painter, 1873 - 1917.
Kellonsoittaja, 1902.

It means Time Caller, I think? The boy is ringing the church bells and the black cat is arching its back in response. I read that Simberg's paintings emphasise mainly topics macabre or supernatural. Don't you feel something eerie in this picture? As usual with art, the viewer is left free to make his or her own conclusions ...
