Hi! I’m Molly Hodgdon. I live in Vermont with my beautiful FIV+ cats Fergus and Francie. Banner photo by W. Eugene Smith. Profile pic is a postcard from my collection mailed 1908. Not a bot. Not selling anything. Just a keeper of forgotten cats.

The Flute. 1896. www.vangoghmuseum.nl/en/prints/co...

A black and white woodcut print - truly black and white, 100% contrast with no illusion of greyscale. A young woman (I think?) is seated next to chest of drawers playing a flute. She has an annoyed expression on her face and a white cat stands on top of the chest beside her, tapping her with its paw as if trying to get her attention or trying to make her stop playing.

I just looked up the artist. I thought this was by Beardsley by the look of it but it’s Vallotton. This is gorgeous.

That side eye is exquisite

That little peek of the left eye, excellent subtlety
