De kat 1833 - 1856

"De Kat" (The Cat), a print created by Glenisson & Van Genechten between 1833 and 1856, depicts a seated tabby cat with a humorous expression. The cat is stylized in a simple, almost cartoonish manner, with large, exaggerated eyes and a prominent mustache. The print is framed by a decorative border and features text below the image, likely Dutch rhymes or riddles about the depicted cat. The overall effect is charming and whimsical, capturing the playful spirit of a domestic feline. The artwork is a fine example of 19th-century printmaking and Dutch folk art.
