A Cat Curled Up, Sleeping
Edouard Manet French
Not on view
Manet shows a cat at rest, supremely unconcerned with any human presence. A masterly pencil line of varying thickness catches the distinctive feline profile of curled neck, ears and brows. Patches of hatching suggest tousled fur, and a few light strokes anchor the form in space.
