"The Large Cat" (Dutuit 46; Holl. 42) is a renowned etching by the Dutch Golden Age printmaker and draftsman Cornelius de Visscher (1629–1658). This work is one of de Visscher's most celebrated pieces, exemplifying his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture texture and depth in his prints. The etching depicts a domestic cat in a state of repose, showcasing the artist's skill in rendering the animal's fur and the play of light and shadow across its form.

Cornelius de Visscher was part of a family of artists and is known for his portrait engravings and genre scenes. However, "The Large Cat" stands out in his oeuvre as a testament to his mastery of the etching medium and his keen observation of nature. The work is characterized by its lifelike portrayal and the sense of tranquility it evokes, making it a prime example of de Visscher's artistic legacy.

The etching is often noted for its fine lines and the use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark to achieve a sense of volume and three-dimensionality. "The Large Cat" not only reflects de Visscher's technical prowess but also provides insight into the domestic life and artistic interests of the 17th-century Dutch Republic.

"The Large Cat" is referenced by the Dutuit number 46 and Hollstein number 42, which are cataloging systems used to identify and classify prints by European artists. The piece remains an important work within the history of printmaking and continues to be studied and admired for its aesthetic qualities and its place within the broader context of Dutch art.
