A stylised cat is depicted in a self-grooming pose, rendered with minimal detail. This woodcut on paper by Julie de Graag features clean lines and a reduction of form, aligning with principles of Art Nouveau and early modernism.
Julie de Graag (1877-1924) was a Dutch artist known for her simplified, almost abstract, depictions of animals and nature. Her style is characterised by clean lines and a reduction of form to its most essential elements, aligning with principles of Art Nouveau and early modernism. De Graag worked primarily with woodcuts, a medium that suited her aesthetic due to its capacity for bold, graphic expression. She was part of a circle of artists who sought to create a distinctly Dutch form of modern art, drawing inspiration from nature and traditional crafts. 'Zich wassende kat' ('Cat Washing Itself') exemplifies de Graag's approach. The image presents a stylised cat in a self-grooming pose, rendered with minimal detail. The composition is flat and decorative, with the cat's form outlined in black against a brown background. The design is contained within a rectangular border, further emphasising its character as a graphic motif. The work demonstrates de Graag's ability to capture the essence of her subject with remarkable economy of line and form.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
