Lying cat 

"Lying Cat" is a simple yet charming drawing of a domestic cat by Friedrich Wilhelm Hirt. The artist used a combination of graphite and red chalk on paper to capture the animal’s soft fur and relaxed posture. The cat is depicted lying on its side, with its head turned slightly towards the viewer. The artist's keen eye for detail is evident in the subtle nuances of the cat's fur, which are rendered with delicate strokes. This intimate study exemplifies Hirt's talent for capturing the essence of his subjects.
