About this work

A girl in a dark dress sits on the floor, petting a round cat. Behind her, a window shows a light-colored wall outside, with a tree branch and a diamond-patterned lattice. The room looks plain, with a simple chair and a dark wall. The artist used soft lines and gentle shading to show the girl’s quiet moment. The cat’s fur is fuzzy, and the girl’s dress has smooth folds. Look up Impressionism next to see how artists like this one played with light and everyday scenes.
