Title: "Cat on the Floor" - A Timeless Feline Portrait from the Early 20th Century This sketch, titled "Cat on the Floor," is a simple yet evocative depiction of a cat in its natural state of repose. Dated circa 1901, this charming illustration invites us to appreciate the quiet beauty of a moment shared between a feline friend and the world around him. The cat lies on its side, its head slightly tilted and perked up, as if listening intently to an unheard melody. Its body, with its soft, rounded curves, contrasts beautifully with the sharp lines and angles of the external corner of the wall that frames the scene. The cat's eyes, full of curiosity and intelligence, seem to hold a secret, inviting us to ponder the mysteries of the feline mind. This lovely sketch is the work of Theophile Alexandre Steinlen (1859-1923), a renowned French artist and caricaturist. Known for his contributions to the famous satirical weekly publication, "Les Maitres de la Caricature," Steinlen's work graced the pages of the April 11, 1901 issue of the magazine. The simplicity of this sketch belies its depth, offering a glimpse into the world of a beloved pet and the connection that can be forged between humans and animals. With its timeless appeal, "Cat on the Floor" remains a cherished reminder of the enduring bond between man and feline companionship.
