Joan Miró's 1928 painting Dutch Interior II
was based on a postcard replica of Cats' Dancing Lesson,
a painting by the 17th-century Dutch master Jan Steen.
Miró attempted an exact transformation of all the
details of this painting into the realm of the fantastic.

In Noertker's composition, the Dutch national anthem,
"Wilhelmus van Nassouwe," undergoes a similar transformation.
