This delightful print, created by an unknown French artist, is an illustration for La Chasse Illustree, a popular publication from that era. Set against a backdrop of green pastures and rolling hills, the scene depicts a countryside hunting expedition. The focus of the image is on a mischievous cat attempting to catch fish with its paw in a bowl filled with goldfish. The playful interaction between the feline hunter and its prey adds an endearing touch to this charming engraving. The black and white composition enhances the intricate details of both the landscape and the animals portrayed.
