Seated Cat, Seen from the Front 1782 - 1837

"Seated Cat, Seen from the Front" is a 19th century drawing by Dutch artist Pieter Bartholomeusz. Barbiers, created between 1782 and 1837. This small-scale artwork, measuring just 112 mm by 92 mm, depicts a gray and white cat curled up in a ball. It currently resides at the Rijksmuseum. The simple composition, using light and shadow to define the animal's form, is characteristic of Barbiers' style.
