La Traversée du Chat [The Cat’s Crossing] is an oil painting on cardboard, rendered with soft, textured brushwork that lends the surface a gentle, atmospheric depth. At its center, the black silhouette of a cat moves with quiet assurance across the top edge of a wall, a single horizontal stroke defining this delicate perch. The pale, softly mottled background in tones of muted blue and grey creates a luminous contrast, allowing the silhouette to stand out with elegant simplicity.

The mood is serene and slightly enigmatic, capturing the cat in a moment that feels both ordinary and poetic. Its steady stride along the wall evokes the lightness of a tightrope walker, suggesting balance, freedom, and the quiet confidence of feline movement. The painting’s understated grace will appeal to those who appreciate poetic, contemplative compositions and the effortless elegance of cats.
