Black Cat on Blue and Pink 

"Black Cat on Blue and Pink" is a watercolor painting by Gwen John, created sometime between the late 1910s and early 1920s. The artwork depicts a black cat, possibly a kitten, lying on a surface painted with washes of blue and pink. This piece exemplifies John's minimalist style, where she focuses on capturing the essence of her subject with simple, yet expressive strokes. The subdued tones of the cat and the washes of color create a sense of stillness and serenity. John's signature style, with its soft contours and restrained palette, is evident in this tender portrayal of the cat, reflecting her profound interest in animal subjects.
