Drinkende kat 1831 - 1904

"Drinkende kat" (Drinking Cat) is an etching by Dutch artist Arnoud Schaepkens, created between 1831 and 1904. The small-scale artwork depicts a cat, rendered with meticulous detail, in the act of drinking from a bowl. The artist’s use of fine lines and hatching creates a sense of realism and captures the animal’s fur and movement. The etching's delicate style and the intimate portrayal of the cat drinking showcase Schaepkens’ skill in animal portraiture.
