"Foot Scraper" is a 1939 metal sculpture created by American artist Helen Hobart. The piece depicts a stylized cat in profile, its raised paw hinting at its function as a doorstop or foot scraper. Hobart, known for her whimsical and functional designs, captured the essence of the feline form with a minimalist and elegant style.
