This comfortably reclining feline was originally used to announce an exposition of artists who paint animals at the Cercle International des Arts in the spring of 1909. Apparently, it was so warmly received that a separate lithograph without letters was published, using a different printer, with only minimal changes–for example, the background color, beige in the poster, is here grey. The publisher, Sagot, titled it “L’Hiver Chat sur un Coussin” (Winter Cat on a Pillow) and coupled it with another print he titled “L‘EtÈ Chat sur un Balustrade” (see PAI-XXXIII, 563). Either way, it’s a magnificent cat–in perfect repose, with a regal bearing and an enigmatic look. Hand-signed in pencil by the artist.
