Six Etchings: Head of a Kitten

About this work

This sketch shows just a kitten’s head and front paws. The fur is drawn with quick, fuzzy lines, making it look soft but also a little rough. The kitten’s ears are pointed, and its eyes are half-closed, like it’s resting or curious. The artist focused on small details—like the tiny whiskers and the way the fur tufts around the paws. This style was common in studies where artists practiced capturing animals quickly. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how light and shadow create depth in drawings like this.
