On View
Not on viewThe untitled drawing of a girl delicately playing with a cat is probably a sketch for a lithograph, athough it is surprising that the artist scraped and reworked his lines so many times for an image that would have to be redrawn on the stone. On the verso of the drawing is a simpler sketch of a similar female seated in profile and playing the piano.
