Cats Nightmare | Louis Wain | 1890

The illustration titled Cat's Nightmare by Louis Wain, circa 1890, depicts a surreal and humorous scene in which a startled cat lies in bed surrounded by a large group of wide-eyed owls. The owls crowd around the bed, perched on its frame and covering the blanket, their large, intense eyes conveying curiosity or mischief. The cat's expression of alarm and bewilderment contrasts with the uniform and calm demeanour of the owls, adding an eerie yet whimsical quality to the artwork. The monochromatic illustration blends fine detailing and imaginative composition, characteristic of Wain's unique style.
