This woodblock print, created by Philippus Jacobus Brepols between 1800 and 1833, depicts a seated cat with bright yellow eyes, brown and grey fur, and blue accents. Titled "Geen nutter dier voor rot en muis, / Als een mooi katje in uw huis," the artwork praises the cat's ability to catch rodents and its beauty, highlighting the creature's practical and aesthetic value. The print, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the use of woodblock printing in the early 19th century.
