Concert of Cats

About this work

This print shows a group of cats dressed like musicians. One cat holds a large sheet of music, another plays a violin, and a few others cling to instruments or each other. They’re packed into a cozy space, with furry tails and paws everywhere—some cats even look like they’re conducting or singing. The title says it’s a "Concert of Cats," and the artist signed it as an etching on stone. That means the lines were carved into a smooth surface, then inked to make the print.
