Young Woman with Cats is an oil on canvas painting by the German painter Lovis Corinth, from 1904.

Here he depicts his wife, who was 23 years his junior, wearing a floral dress and a hat decorated with flowers.

[2][3] Charlotte Berend was a painter and was the first student to take lessons from Lovis Corinth, in 1901, who had founded a private “painting school for women” and for whom she would be regularly available as a model since 1902.

The following year, on March 26, 1903, Lovis Corinth and Charlotte Berend got married, and she adopted the double name Berend-Corinth.

Charlotte Berend-Corinth painted in a similar style to her husband and was a member of the Berlin Secession.
