Kattene 1845

"Kattene" is a lithograph created in 1845 by Danish artist Adolph Kittendorff. This humorous depiction of four cats interacting with a barrel, one even nestled inside, showcases Kittendorff's talent for capturing animal behavior. This piece, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies the artist's fascination with everyday scenes and their ability to elicit amusement in viewers. The work's small size, measuring 259mm by 173mm, adds to its intimate and charming feel, making it a delightful example of Danish art from the mid-19th century.
