Julie Manet Holding a Cat

Berthe Morisot, after Auguste Renoir

National Gallery of Art

This is a print of a young girl sitting with a cat in her arms. The girl has short, dark hair, large eyes, and a slight smile. She is wearing a simple garment with a high collar and wide sleeves. The cat sits in her lap, resting its head on the girl's arm, which is curled around it. The cat's fur appears to be white with black spots, and it looks upwards towards the girl's face. The background is blank, beige paper.
