‘Sleeping Cat’ Giclée Print by John Craxton

Giclée print, one of an edition of 250. Printed on 310gsm thick, 100% cotton rag. Hand-numbered and hand-embossed.

Craxton knew his cats – their inner lives. As his partner Richard Riley pointed out:  ‘Craxton was so familiar with the vocabulary of cat moves, gestures and stances that he could capture them with utter conviction in a few strokes of the pen or brush’.*

Here we have sleeping cat – curled yet unfurled in perfect sleepy repose.
