Théophile Steinlen, "Saved!", 1898, Antique print from "Cats"

Sale price¥55,000

You thought you caught it, but...? Who will have the last laugh? A dramatic cat picture scroll.

Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen, a painter and printmaker active in Paris at the end of the 19th century, was an artist who poured an astonishing keen observational eye and affection into the familiar creature of cats. This work, "Sauvée!", is one of the silent cartoons included in "Des Chats," a collection of cat illustrations and prose published in 1898.

The story depicts a white cat finding a mouse and getting excited about it. As the white cat plays with pride, another long-haired cat appears and they start fighting over the mouse. As the fight between the cats becomes more intense, the mouse in question takes the opportunity to quickly escape and is brilliantly "rescued". This is a very witty composition.

Unusually for Steinlen's work, the main character is a white cat, and the overall movement and composition have a rhythm. The final scene depicts the mouse making an escape, like a rabbit, bringing the whole piece to a light-hearted conclusion.

A masterpiece that weaves together the behavior and psychology of cats, as well as humor. A dramatic piece that is typical of Steinlen, with a complete story in one piece.
