The artwork “Cat and Girl” was created by artist Tsuguharu Foujita in 1956. It belongs to the Magic Realism art movement and falls under the genre painting category.
In the artwork, a young girl is depicted seated on a cushion, holding a cat tenderly on her lap. She is dressed in traditional attire, including a hat and a red skirt, with a blue upper garment adorned with a collar and tie. The cat, with its soft fur, appears content and relaxed. Surrounding the central figures are tiles that display various pastoral scenes rendered in blue, including depictions of windmills, birds, and rural houses, all of which contribute to the enchanting and detailed nature of the composition. The girl’s expression and the detailed textures emphasize the magical and realistic qualities that define this piece.
