Den tykke kat 1911

"Den tykke kat" (The Fat Cat) is a 1911 pen and ink drawing by Danish artist Niels Skovgaard (1858-1938). The drawing, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a humorous scene of a rotund cat stirring a pot on a stove with a long-handled spoon, the steam curling up around it in a playful swirl. Skovgaard's playful style and the simple yet expressive lines of this whimsical drawing showcase his talent for capturing the essence of animal behavior and humor.
