Nu Au Chat (Nude with Cat) is an oil painting by the French artist Paul Albert Besnard (1849–1934), created in 1880. This work is an example of Besnard's skill in capturing the interplay of light and shadow, as well as his interest in portraying the female form with a sense of intimacy and psychological depth. The painting features a nude woman in a domestic setting, accompanied by a cat, which adds a layer of domesticity and comfort to the scene.

Besnard, who was a prominent figure in the French art scene at the turn of the 20th century, was known for his portraits and murals as well as for his innovative use of color and light, which was influenced by the Impressionist movement. However, he maintained a distinct style that resisted full allegiance to any one artistic movement. Nu Au Chat is reflective of his unique approach to painting, which often explored the sensuality and complexity of the human figure within richly textured environments.

The painting is significant for its exploration of femininity and the relationship between humans and animals, themes that were common in the Symbolist movement that Besnard was associated with during his career. The presence of the cat in the painting may symbolize independence and sensuality, traits often attributed to felines, and by extension, may comment on the nature of the female subject herself.

Nu Au Chat is part of Besnard's broader oeuvre, which contributed to the development of modern art in France. His work was recognized with numerous awards throughout his career, including the Grand Prix at the Exposition Universelle in 1900. Today, Besnard's paintings can be found in the collections of many major museums, and they continue to be studied for their technical mastery and their rich, nuanced portrayal of contemporary life in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
