Guillaume Anne van der Brugghen's *Liggende kat, naar links* is a detailed pencil drawing of a sleeping cat created between 1821 and 1891. Van der Brugghen, born in 1812 and known for his animal portraits, captured the soft fur and gentle pose of the cat with subtle shading. This realistic study, a hallmark of 19th-century Dutch art, demonstrates the artist's keen eye for detail and appreciation for the natural world.
