Cats and Their People

The close bonds between humans and their feline friends have inspired artists for centuries. These prints explore the tender and sometimes comical relationships between people of all ages and their companion cats. Some depictions suggest genuine affection; others hint at the cat's indifference to human devotion. Feline presence adds warmth, humor, or symbolic weight to portraits and scenes of daily life.
