Created in 1898, this work is part of a series that showcases Steinlen's fascination with cats, which were a recurring subject in his art. The lithograph features a cluster of cats in various poses and expressions, demonstrating Steinlen's keen observation and ability to capture the essence of these animals' movements and personalities.

Steinlen's affection for cats is evident in the detailed rendering of their fur, eyes, and postures, conveying a sense of realism and character. "Les Chats: The Cats I" not only reflects Steinlen's artistic skill but also provides insight into the cultural significance of cats in Parisian society at the turn of the 20th century. Cats were often associated with the bohemian lifestyle, and Steinlen, who lived in the bohemian district of Montmartre in Paris, was well-acquainted with this milieu.

The lithograph is characterized by its Art Nouveau style, with fluid lines and an emphasis on natural forms. Steinlen's work, including "Les Chats: The Cats I," contributed to the proliferation of the Art Nouveau movement in graphic art and illustration.
