Woman with a Cat (Bonnard)

Woman with a Cat or The Demanding Cat (French: La Femme au chat) is a 1912 oil on canvas painting by French Post-Impressionist painter Pierre Bonnard (1867–1947).

The work depicts Marthe Bonnard, Bonnard's mistress, and a cat climbing on to a table arranged for a meal.

The influence of Japanese prints is apparent, as it often is in works by Bonnard and the other artists of the Nabis.
