This print shows a theater scene behind the scenes. The title tells us it’s from a series about puppets. It’s a print, not a painting, made after 1850. The museum notes call it “The comedy of the cat - Behind the curtain.” It’s based on an original painting by the same artist. The print mixes Impressionist and Realist styles. The original painting is held at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
