Door Stop c. 1937

"Door Stop" is a 1937 drawing by British artist H. Langdon Brown, featuring a pair of cast iron cats. The cats are depicted in a playful pose, with one cat resting its paw on a ball while the other looks on. This whimsical portrayal of everyday objects is typical of Brown's work, which often focused on animal and domestic scenes. The detailed rendering of the cats and their textured surfaces contributes to a sense of realism. The drawing was likely created as a design for a cast iron door stop, demonstrating Brown's interest in functional art.
