Jean Bernard (1775-1833, Dutch)

Portrait of Jean Bernard, Art Collector and Painter in Amsterdam, Gerrit Jan Michaëlis, 1828

Jean Bernard (1775-1833, Dutch) was certainly a cat lover.  A deft artist and draftsman he sketched many cats, most probably his own, using charcoal and colored crayons.  The cats featured below were captured in natural positions, so we must infer that Jean Bernard was an avid cat lover. Unfortunately, there is no biographical information available on him, so we know nothing about his life.  

Framed art posters and canvas prints are now available at

The Great Cat Store.
