1895
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Six Etchings is a 1895 by Paul Gachet, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a black cat perched on a top hat balanced on a tall stool. The cat looks calm, almost like it’s posing. Around the cat and hat, the words “Six Etchings,” “Gachet,” and “Cat” are written in a loose, hand-drawn style. The artist signed it in the corner, and the whole thing feels playful and simple. The lines are light, like a quick sketch rather than a polished drawing. Next, check out Paul Gachet to see more of his work.
Paul-Ferdinand Gachet (30 July 1828 – 9 January 1909) was a French physician most famous for treating the painter Vincent van Gogh during his last weeks in Auvers-sur-Oise.
