Moritz von Schwind's "Puss in Boots" is a silhouette drawing depicting a cat in boots holding a rabbit, a character from the popular children's fairytale. The stark contrast between the black silhouette and the off-white background highlights the figure's iconic features, emphasizing its dramatic pose and the playful narrative. This work exemplifies the German Romantic era's interest in folklore and the use of simple forms to convey a story.
