The Cats (Les chats)

Édouard Manet, 1869

This print shows three cats in different poses. On the left, a black cat is curled up, lifting one left and appearing to groom itself, its head by its tail. On the upper right, there is a white cat with black spots that appears to be sitting underneath the legs of a wooden chair. Below this, towards the bottom right, a smaller white cat with black spots is curled up facing left, also appearing to groom itself, with its tail extended out to the side.
