Cat Sleeping In A Corner 1902

"Cat Sleeping In A Corner" is a 1902 etching by the French artist Théophile Alexandre Steinlen, known for his depictions of Parisian life, especially cats. The artwork features a tabby cat curled up in a corner, capturing the animal's peaceful slumber with a realistic, yet subtly stylized approach. Steinlen's work, often associated with Art Nouveau and Symbolism, is characterized by its delicate lines and nuanced shading, making the cat's fur and the surrounding environment come alive with intricate detail. The composition's simplicity and focus on the cat's form contribute to a sense of intimacy and quietude.
