Etude des Chats 

Théophile Alexandre Steinlen's "Etude des Chats" is a charcoal study of four cats in various poses. The artist, known for his depictions of Parisian life and particularly his love of felines, captures the animals with a keen eye for detail and movement. The loose strokes of charcoal create a sense of energy and spontaneity, typical of Steinlen's expressive style. The study showcases the artist's mastery of animal anatomy and his ability to convey the distinct personalities of his subjects. This artwork is a testament to Steinlen's enduring legacy as a prominent artist and a beloved chronicler of Parisian life.
