Julie de Graag's "Three Cats" (1916) is a captivating piece that elegantly exemplifies the synthesis of Art Nouveau and the Dutch artistic tradition. De Graag, a Dutch artist born in 1877, was known for her delicate yet striking works that often featured animals and nature. Her life, marked by personal struggles and a profound sensitivity to the world around her, deeply influenced her artistic output.

In "Three Cats," de Graag employs a minimalist yet expressive style, characterized by clean lines and a harmonious composition. This piece showcases her ability to convey emotion and character through simplicity, a hallmark of her work. The three cats, rendered with a keen attention to form and posture, exude a sense of serenity and introspection, reflecting de Graag's philosophical approach to art as a medium for capturing the essence of her subjects.

The genre of this work can be described as animal portraiture, with a strong influence of Japonism, evident in the flat planes and stylized forms. De Graag's technique involves the use of fine lines and subtle shading, creating a sense of depth and texture without overwhelming detail.

"Three Cats" holds significance in the art world as an example of early 20th-century Dutch graphic art, bridging traditional and modernist sensibilities. The original piece is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, where it continues to be admired for its quiet elegance and artistic mastery.
