Woman with a Cat (Bonnard)
Woman with a Cat or The Demanding Cat (French: La Femme au chat) is a 1912 oil on canvas painting by French Post-Impressionist painter Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947). The work depicts Marthe Bonnard, Bonnard's mistress, and a cat climbing on to a table arranged for a meal. The influence of the Nabis and the Japanese style is apparent.[1] The painting was donated by Baronnes Eva Gebhard-Gourgaud to the Musée National d'Art Moderne in 1965, and assigned to the Musée d'Orsay in 1977.[2]
