Cats fighting. Francisco de Goya. Spanish, 1786. Prado Museum, Madrid. “This is one of the cartoons for the Prince and Princess of Asturias´ dining room in El Pardo. As its narrow horizontal format shows, it was designed to hang over a door, a position favored by the perspective the painter gave it. Goya offers a perfect analysis of the cats´ postures, which he represents with great naturalism, thanks to the study of this animal appearing in his Italian Notebook from 1771.” -- source link
