About Steinlen
Steinlen (French, b. Switzerland, 1859–1923) drew cats throughout his long career with unvarying grace and skill—his models were the habitués of Parisian rooftops, streets, cemeteries, and garbage bins around the Montmartre neighborhood where he resided. Their antics are illustrated in the artist's famous book Cats:  Pictures without Words (1898), a copy of which is in The Met's Drawings and Prints collection.
