1825
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Study of a young girl and a cat is a 1825 by Daniel Maclise, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a young girl sitting on a wooden bench, petting a cat. Behind her is a tree with simple leaves, and a few loose branches float in the air. The girl wears a loose dress and a head covering, and the cat curls up next to her hand. The drawing looks unfinished, with light pencil lines and some smudges. The artist focused on the girl and cat, leaving the background sketchy. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
A pencil drawing by Daniel Maclise depicts a young girl seated at a garden table, engaged in play with a cat positioned on the table before her. On the reverse side of the sheet is a pen drawing titled *Rock of Cashel*. The work was part of an exhibition display consisting of 390 drawings and sketches in pencil, pen, and ink, including contributions from several other artists such as T.S. Cooper, Sir Edwin Landseer, and Benjamin Disraeli.
