About this work

This etching by Alphonse Legros, titled Le chat noir (19th century), shows a crowd of men in hats and coats gathered at the left, several gazing toward a central figure holding a small object. At the right, a woman with her hair pulled back looks downward beside a black cat perched on a vertical form. Dense crosshatching and fine parallel lines build the shadowed background and figures.
