Schematische tekening van een zittende kat 1782 - 1837

"Schematische tekening van een zittende kat" is a detailed pencil drawing of a cat in a resting position by Dutch artist Pieter Bartholomeusz. Barbiers. Created between 1782 and 1837, the artwork is characterized by precise lines and a focus on anatomical detail. The drawing exhibits a delicate touch, capturing the feline form with both realism and a sense of naturalism. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, this small-scale work (118 mm x 207 mm) serves as a testament to Barbiers’ keen observational skills and his interest in the animal kingdom.
