Geraniums and Cats 1881

"Geraniums and Cats" (1881) by Pierre-Auguste Renoir is an oil on canvas depicting a lush arrangement of red and white geraniums in a decorative pot, with a cat resting at the base. The composition features a still life aesthetic with loose brushstrokes and soft, Impressionistic light. The background is blurred with hints of blue, while the foreground is dominated by the vibrancy of the flowers and the cat's soft fur. The artwork exemplifies Renoir's signature style of capturing fleeting moments of beauty and everyday life. The painting is currently held in a private collection.
