Kat 1880 - 1946

"Kat" is a woodcut print created by Dutch artist Henri van der Stok in the early 20th century. The piece depicts a black and white cat in a simplified, almost cartoonish style, with bold outlines and stark contrasts. The cat’s piercing gaze and the playful position of its paw create a sense of life and movement. This work is a fine example of van der Stok's fascination with the natural world and his use of woodcuts to capture its essence. The print is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
