About the piece
Painted in 1894 by Hungarian artist Géza Vastagh, this endearing oil on cardboard captures a quiet domestic moment. The mother cat, with her striking black and white markings, provides a protective center for her resting kittens against a neutral, textured backdrop. Known for his technical mastery of animal subjects, Vastagh employs confident brushwork that brings a sense of warmth and life to the scene.
