About the Item
Antique Kitten Etching by Kurt Meyer-Eberhardt – Estate Edition 1977
This charming etching of a kitten, created by the celebrated German artist Kurt Meyer-Eberhardt (1895–1977), beautifully captures the innocence and curiosity of a young cat in delicate detail. Meyer-Eberhardt, a master of animal portraiture, trained at the prestigious Weimar Academy of Fine Arts under Theodor Hagen and Lionel Feininger. Rejecting a professorship at Weimar, he relocated to Munich in 1918 to dedicate his artistic practice entirely to animal studies—a focus that would define his illustrious career.
The etching is part of the estate edition marked “Nachlass Meyer-Eberhardt,” denoting that it was printed posthumously in 1977, following his death. The original copperplate, created during his lifetime, likely dates from the 1920s to 1950s. This impression was hand-printed by the renowned Hanfstaengl Publishing Company in Munich, which has published Meyer-Eberhardt’s work since 1917. They continue to honor his artistic legacy by using the same traditional methods: 300lb acid-free handmade paper, hand-inked and pressed from the original copperplates according to the artist’s own instructions.
This etching is a testament to Meyer-Eberhardt’s enduring skill in capturing the essence of animals. The lifelike texture of the kitten’s fur, the gentle gaze, and the tranquil setting all evoke a sense of tenderness and authenticity that is characteristic of his work. Collectors and art enthusiasts alike will appreciate the historical significance and refined craftsmanship of this print.
