Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen (1859–1923) was a prolific artist, best known for his iconic Art Nouveau poster for the Tournée du Chat Noir. While his public work often addressed social critique and the plight of the working class (Social Realism), his private studies of cats reveal his profound affection for the animals that frequented his Montmartre home. This ink drawing showcases his extraordinary skill in rendering fluid, lifelike forms with simple, expressive lines. The sleeping cats symbolize the bohemian spirit of Montmartre—free, aloof, and utterly elegant. This print is a direct window into the artist’s "Cat's Cottage" and is a must-have for cat lovers, collectors of vintage Parisian art, and devotees of the Art Nouveau graphic style.
