Study of Cats 

This ink drawing by Théophile Alexandre Steinlen, a renowned French artist known for his depictions of cats, features seven studies of felines in various sleeping positions. The artist's loose, expressive lines capture the animals' grace and elegance, while the simplicity of the composition and lack of background allow the viewer to focus on the subjects themselves. This study exemplifies Steinlen's signature style, characterized by his love of cats and his ability to capture their unique personality through simple yet evocative lines.
