This lithograph is often mistakenly referred to as "Man with Cats." The reason for this colloquial title is immediately apparent, as the image shows a mustachioed man sitting snugly in a chair with his feet up on an ottoman while reading a book. He is backed by a full bookcase, and curled up all around him, including on the shelves of the bookcase and in his lap, are six happily snoozing cats - the quintessential Gorey image. Print measures 12 by 8 inches. Fine.
