This illustration by Danish artist Niels Skovgaard, created in 1911, depicts a humorous scene of a cat stirring a pot on a stovetop. The drawing, which is a preliminary sketch for an illustration, is executed in ink and features a playful rendering of the cat's posture and the swirling smoke emanating from the pot. Skovgaard's focus on capturing the everyday details of animal behavior is characteristic of his artistic style. The sketch, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, provides insight into Skovgaard's creative process and the evolution of his final artwork.
