Graceful, poised, and timeless, this vintage postcard features "Cat" by renowned American modernist sculptor William Zorach. Carved from Swedish granite, the sculpture captures the quiet dignity of a seated feline with simplified, powerful lines that echo the monumental calm of ancient art. Though modern in origin, the form subtly recalls Egyptian and classical influences, giving the piece an ageless presence that feels both serene and commanding. It is an image that speaks to cat lovers, art collectors, and admirers of early modern sculpture alike.
This postcard features the sculpture in the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, where it entered in 1937 through the Edward C. Moore, Jr. Gift Fund. The photograph was taken by L. H. Frohman, known for documenting important works of art for museum publications.
