Little girl with cat 1901

"Little Girl with Cat" (1901) is an etching by French artist Théophile Steinlen, known for his depictions of Parisian street life. The image portrays a young girl, her back to the viewer, seated on a chair in a simple room, with a black cat sitting opposite her. Steinlen’s use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of depth and texture in the image, highlighting the girl's soft features and the cat's sleek fur. This intimate scene is typical of Steinlen's art, which often captured the quiet moments of everyday life.
