More about this artwork
This evocative woodcut piece, titled "Slapende kat" (Sleeping Cat) from 1918, is the work of Dutch artist Julie de Graag. The artwork showcases the artist's distinctive minimalist style, rendered in bold lines and subdued tones. The scene portrays a peacefully sleeping cat that seems almost abstract in its simplicity, curling tightly on a patterned surface. De Graag's use of stark contrasts and the reduction of forms to their essence captures the tranquility and compactness of a resting animal. The cat's serene face and tucked posture express a universal sense of calm and contentment, inviting viewers to appreciate the quiet beauty in everyday moments.
