La chatte sur le balustrade 1929 - 1932

"La chatte sur le balustrade" (The Cat on the Balustrade), a 1929-1932 etching by André Dunoyer de Segonzac, captures a domestic scene with delicate lines and masterful shading. The artwork depicts a cat drinking from a bowl on a table, its body gracefully arched as it bends to take a sip. The background features potted plants and foliage, suggesting an indoor or garden setting. De Segonzac's use of line and texture creates a sense of immediacy and movement in the piece, while the delicate details of the cat's fur and the foliage lend an air of quiet contemplation.
