About this work

This image shows three cats—two black and one white—curled up together on a striped blanket. The blanket’s diagonal lines create a sense of movement, while the cats look relaxed and close. The background is simple, with just a few geometric shapes and a muted color palette. The artist used a printing method that creates smooth shading, which gives the cats’ fur texture. This technique is called lithography, and it’s how the whole image was made. Look up lithography to see how artists use it to make prints.
