Boze kat 1864 - 1936

"Boze kat" (Angry Cat) is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Jan van Essen. Created between 1864 and 1936, it depicts a cat in a dynamic pose, captured with loose, expressive lines. The artist's focus on capturing the animal's energy and character through a simple, yet expressive sketch showcases his talent for observation and realism. This drawing, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, exemplifies van Essen's exploration of animal subjects and his skillful use of the pencil medium.
