Les Chats is a celebrated collection of illustrations by the Swiss-born French artist Théophile Alexandre Steinlen, first published in 1898. Renowned for his keen observation and affection for feline subjects, Steinlen's work in this collection captures the myriad expressions, postures, and personalities of cats, making it a beloved piece among art and animal enthusiasts alike. The collection is a testament to Steinlen's skill in rendering the grace and charm of cats, which he often depicted in various states of repose, play, and interaction with their environment.

Steinlen, who moved to Paris in 1881, became a prominent figure in the Montmartre artistic community, where he mingled with other notable artists and writers of the time. His work was heavily influenced by the Art Nouveau movement, characterized by its elegant lines and natural forms, which is evident in the fluidity and dynamism of his cat illustrations. Les Chats not only showcases his technical prowess but also his deep empathy and understanding of his subjects, capturing the essence of feline behavior with remarkable accuracy and sensitivity.

The illustrations in Les Chats are executed in a variety of media, including lithographs, etchings, and drawings, each demonstrating Steinlen's versatility and mastery of different artistic techniques. The collection includes both monochromatic and colored works, highlighting the artist's ability to convey texture, light, and shadow with equal proficiency. Steinlen's cats are often depicted in domestic settings, interacting with everyday objects and people, which adds a layer of intimacy and relatability to the collection.

Les Chats has been praised for its artistic merit and its contribution to the genre of animal illustration. It remains a significant work in Steinlen's oeuvre, reflecting his unique ability to combine artistic elegance with a genuine affection for his subjects. The collection continues to be celebrated for its charm, technical excellence, and the timeless appeal of its feline protagonists.
