{"title":"Théophile Steinlen","description":"\u003cp\u003eThéophile Steinlen (1859-1923) gave Montmartre its graphic identity. The Chat Noir cabaret poster is among the most recognised images of the Belle Époque, and the cats that fill his work, curled on a windowsill or stalking a Paris rooftop, are drawn by someone who clearly lived with them. Bold flat colour, confident line, and a lifelong sympathy for the working city underneath the nightlife. Every work is reproduced on museum-grade cotton canvas with archival giclee printing, printed to order and hand-framed in your choice of Gold, Silver, or Dark Bronze, sized Small through Estate.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"theophile_steinlen__cat_on_a_balustrade","title":"Cat On A Balustrade – Théophile Steinlen, 1909","description":"\u003ch2\u003eCat On A Balustrade by Théophile Steinlen, 1909\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFramed Canvas Art\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003etabby cat of considerable girth and self-possession\u003c\/strong\u003e drapes itself across the flat rail of a wooden balustrade, its body oriented horizontally across the picture plane while its \u003cstrong\u003epiercing yellow-green eyes\u003c\/strong\u003e fix the viewer with an expression of cool, sovereign indifference. Steinlen renders the animal's \u003cstrong\u003edark striped coat\u003c\/strong\u003e in layered tones of charcoal, warm umber, and slate, the tabby markings swirling across the haunches in loose, confident passages that convey both weight and latent muscular tension. The background dissolves into a \u003cstrong\u003eluminous golden-yellow wash\u003c\/strong\u003e punctuated by flat, stylized leaf forms, wisteria or acacia rendered with the graphic economy of a poster artist, which throws the cat's dark silhouette into sharp relief while bathing the entire composition in a warm, late-afternoon glow. The \u003cstrong\u003ewarm honey tones of the wooden rail\u003c\/strong\u003e anchor the foreground and provide a horizontal stage that the animal occupies with complete authority. Steinlen works here in a mode that bridges his celebrated poster work with a more intimate, observational naturalism; the composition is spare and deliberately frontal, yet alive with the textures of close looking. This painting stands as one of the most fully realized works in a lifelong series of feline studies that made Steinlen the preeminent painter of cats in the \u003cem\u003eBelle Époque\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteinlen painted \u003cstrong\u003eCat On A Balustrade\u003c\/strong\u003e in 1909, at a moment when his reputation in Paris was firmly established but his work was moving away from the political lithographs and cabaret posters of the 1890s toward a quieter, more personal body of easel painting. Born in Lausanne in 1859, Steinlen had settled in Montmartre in 1881 and became deeply embedded in the bohemian world centered on the \u003cem\u003eChat Noir\u003c\/em\u003e cabaret, whose very name acknowledged the cats that populated the neighborhood's rooftops and courtyards. His affinity for cats was not merely sentimental; he kept dozens in his studio on the rue Caulaincourt and studied them with the sustained attention of a naturalist. By 1909, the \u003cem\u003eArt Nouveau\u003c\/em\u003e movement that had shaped his graphic language was giving way to newer currents, yet Steinlen's feline paintings retained the flat, decorative patterning of \u003cem\u003eArt Nouveau\u003c\/em\u003e while incorporating the tonal warmth and surface richness of \u003cem\u003ePost-Impressionist\u003c\/em\u003e easel painting. The work entered museum collections and continued to be reproduced widely, serving as a touchstone for how the domestic cat could be depicted as a genuinely monumental subject rather than a sentimental accessory. Its influence on subsequent animal illustration and poster design in the early twentieth century was considerable and largely unacknowledged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur archival \u003cem\u003egiclee\u003c\/em\u003e process on museum-grade cotton canvas is particularly well-suited to preserving what makes this painting work at the level of surface and light: the subtle gradation from the \u003cstrong\u003edeep charcoal of the cat's spine\u003c\/strong\u003e through the warmer mid-tones of its flanks and into the creamy chest fur requires a full tonal range that compressed poster-quality printing consistently collapses into muddy undifferentiated darks. Our source files are digitally restored from high-resolution museum scans, recovering the precise cadmium warmth of the \u003cstrong\u003egolden foliate background\u003c\/strong\u003e and the cool blue-grey undertones in the shadow beneath the cat's body: distinctions that degraded reproductions render as a single flat field. The \u003cstrong\u003eloose, gestural passages describing the tabby's striped markings\u003c\/strong\u003e retain their directional energy at our production resolution, rather than softening into uniform texture. The ornate composite frame, finished in warm antique gold, directly echoes the honey and amber tones that Steinlen uses throughout the composition, completing the work as it was meant to be encountered: as a considered object with weight and presence on a wall.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CanvasClassics","offers":[{"title":"Small \/ Gold \/

Noir – Théophile Steinlen, 1896","description":"\u003ch2\u003eChat Noir by Théophile Steinlen, 1896\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFramed Canvas Art\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAgainst a warm ochre ground, \u003cstrong\u003eChat Noir\u003c\/strong\u003e presents a single \u003cstrong\u003ejet-black cat\u003c\/strong\u003e rearing upright at center, its \u003cstrong\u003epiercing chartreuse eyes\u003c\/strong\u003e catching the only concentrated light in the composition: a device that draws every viewer's gaze with undeniable authority. Behind the animal, a \u003cstrong\u003eradiant halo of deep amber and burnt sienna\u003c\/strong\u003e fans outward like a sunburst, simultaneously evoking religious iconography and the gaslit glow of Montmartre nightlife. The lettering (rendered in bold vermillion, forest green, and black) functions not merely as text but as a structural element, framing the cat within a typographic architecture that is inseparable from the image itself. Steinlen worked here in the tradition of \u003cem\u003eaffiche artistique\u003c\/em\u003e, the fine-art poster movement that treated commercial lithography as a legitimate medium for serious composition; his draftsmanship is crisp and deliberate, with clean silhouetted forms and precise tonal contrasts that reward close inspection as much as they command attention from across a boulevard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteinlen produced this poster in 1896 as a touring advertisement for the \u003cem\u003eCompagnie du Chat Noir\u003c\/em\u003e, the celebrated shadow-puppet cabaret founded by impresario Rodolphe Salis on the rue de Laval in Paris. The original Chat Noir cabaret had closed the year prior with Salis's death, but its artistic legacy was potent enough to sustain a traveling revue, and this lithograph, printed by the Parisian firm Lévy Frères, served as its herald across French cities. Steinlen had been a fixture of Montmartre since emigrating from Lausanne in 1881, contributing illustrations to the cabaret's own journal and forming a close working relationship with its community of poets, composers, and visual artists. The image belongs to the same extraordinary decade that produced Toulouse-Lautrec's Moulin Rouge posters and Alphonse Mucha's Gismonda: a concentrated moment when \u003cem\u003eArt Nouveau\u003c\/em\u003e and the democratizing force of color lithography converged to make the Paris street corner a gallery wall. Steinlen's \u003cstrong\u003eChat Noir\u003c\/strong\u003e became arguably the most recognized image to emerge from that milieu, reproduced so widely that the original stones were worn through multiple print runs; it remains a primary document of \u003cem\u003eBelle Époque\u003c\/em\u003e visual culture and the bohemian spirit that defined the Montmartre quarter before Haussmann's modernization fully erased it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur archival \u003cem\u003egiclee\u003c\/em\u003e process on museum-grade cotton canvas preserves the critical tonal transitions that define this composition's impact: the precise gradient where the amber halo dissolves into the warm parchment ground, the near-absolute black of the cat's silhouette holding its edge cleanly against that glow, and the subtle warm-to-cool shift within the red banner lettering at the base. Mass-produced poster prints routinely collapse the \u003cstrong\u003echartreuse-to-gold gradation in the cat's irises\u003c\/strong\u003e into a single flat tone and bleed the vermillion text into its ochre surround; our source image has been digitally restored from high-resolution museum scans, recovering the fine ink registration and tonal nuance of the original lithographic stones. The ornate composite frame, finished in aged gold leaf, mirrors the amber halo at the composition's center and reinforces the poster's deliberate play between sacred iconography and cabaret showmanship: making it as suited to a candlelit dining room or home bar as to a dedicated study or music room.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CanvasClassics","offers":[{"title":"Small \/ Gold \/

\u003cstrong\u003eClinique Chéron\u003c\/strong\u003e announces itself through a warm cascade of terracotta red, ochre, and soft stone: the woman's voluminous gown dominates the left third of the composition in deep crimson patterned fabric, drawing the eye upward to a ledge where \u003cstrong\u003ethree cats\u003c\/strong\u003e occupy the upper register: a sleek black cat pressed low, a grey-white kitten curled at center, and a tortoiseshell sprawling at right, their bodies forming a loose horizontal band that anchors the poster's midground. Below, \u003cstrong\u003efour dogs\u003c\/strong\u003e (a black Labrador-type sitting squarely in silhouette, two greyhound-like hounds sketched in pale ochre line work, and a compact white bull terrier) surround the woman in a loose orbit, each rendered with a different degree of finish that creates a layered foreground of remarkable spatial depth. The light source is diffuse and even, characteristic of \u003cem\u003elithographic poster design\u003c\/em\u003e, yet Steinlen's hand gives each animal a distinct weight and texture; the cats above feel warm and settled while the dogs below carry an alert, restless energy. The lettering (\u003cstrong\u003eClinique Chéron, Médecin Vétérinaire Spécialiste\u003c\/strong\u003e) is integrated into the composition with the confident typographic sensibility of the Parisian poster tradition, never competing with the figures but completing them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteinlen created this advertisement poster for the Parisian veterinary practice of Dr. Chéron, located at 8 Rue des Moulins, in 1905: a period when the Swiss-born artist was at the height of his commercial and fine art reputation in Paris. Having arrived in Montmartre in 1881, Steinlen had spent more than two decades immersing himself in the social fabric of the city, producing work for \u003cem\u003eLe Chat Noir\u003c\/em\u003e cabaret and its journal, illustrating for \u003cem\u003eGil Blas Illustré\u003c\/em\u003e, and earning recognition as one of the foremost practitioners of the \u003cem\u003eArt Nouveau\u003c\/em\u003e poster alongside Toulouse-Lautrec and Alphonse Mucha. Unlike Mucha's sinuous female ideals or Lautrec's acid social commentary, Steinlen's particular genius was sympathetic naturalism: his animals, and particularly his cats, were observed with a tenderness that came from genuine cohabitation: his own household was famously populated with cats, which became a recurring subject throughout his career. The \u003cem\u003eClinique Chéron\u003c\/em\u003e poster sits within a body of animal-centered work that includes his iconic 1894 \u003cem\u003eLait pur de la Vingeanne Stérilisé\u003c\/em\u003e and reflects the broader \u003cem\u003eBelle Époque\u003c\/em\u003e appetite for elevated commercial art that functioned simultaneously as street-level spectacle and collectible image. Today the poster is held in major graphic arts collections and is regarded as one of the period's finest examples of the veterinary and animal welfare advocacy genre rendered through \u003cem\u003elithographic poster art\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur archival \u003cem\u003egiclee\u003c\/em\u003e process on museum-grade cotton canvas preserves the tonal transitions that define this composition's spatial logic: the subtle graduation from the deep wine shadow of the woman's sleeve folds into the warm mid-tones of her gown's printed pattern, and the delicate ochre line work of the background hounds that would collapse entirely into the ground tone on a standard poster reproduction. The precise boundary between the black cat's silhouette and the stone-grey ledge, a relationship that carries enormous compositional weight, is rendered with the full dynamic range our pigment inks achieve against primed cotton, recovering the separation that degraded reproductions flatten into a single dark mass. Our source files are drawn from high-resolution museum scans that have been digitally restored for color accuracy, correcting the magenta drift and midtone compression common in widely circulated poster reprints of this image. The ornate composite frame, finished in an aged gold tone, complements the warm ochre, terracotta, and cream palette of Steinlen's original lithograph without competing with its muted sophistication: grounding the piece for a study, a veterinary office, or any interior where animal subjects are given the serious artistic consideration they

Francaise Des Chocolats Et Des Thes – Théophile Steinlen, 1895","description":"\u003ch2\u003eCompagnie Francaise Des Chocolats Et Des Thes by Théophile Steinlen, 1895\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFramed Canvas Art\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis celebrated lithographic poster presents a warm domestic tableau anchored by two figures and a black-and-white cat seated at a table set for chocolate and tea. The woman at left, rendered in deep crimson and black with her face turned in profile, raises a small cup to her lips with composed authority; beside her, a red-haired girl in a slate-blue dress extends a broad bowl of steaming chocolate toward the cat, who sits upright in the foreground with alert, triangular ears and a white chest patch that draws the eye downward. \u003cstrong\u003eSteinlen's palette centers on a warm ochre ground\u003c\/strong\u003e that bathes the entire composition in the golden stillness of an afternoon interior, with the figures rendered in flat, bounded color fields typical of the \u003cem\u003eposter art movement\u003c\/em\u003e that flourished in Paris during the 1890s. The cat, \u003cstrong\u003ea recurring motif throughout Steinlen's career\u003c\/strong\u003e, occupies the compositional foreground as both narrative participant and decorative anchor, its curved silhouette echoing the soft arcs of the children's shoulders above. The lettering, bold and hand-rendered in terracotta and black across the cream ground, is integrated into the composition rather than appended to it, a hallmark of Steinlen's instinct for unified graphic design. Unlike the more sinuous, floral-border approach of contemporaries such as Mucha, Steinlen's figures carry a grounded, working-class warmth; the scene reads not as aspiration but as pleasure already in progress.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteinlen produced this poster in 1895 for the \u003cem\u003eCompagnie Française des Chocolats et des Thés\u003c\/em\u003e, a French confectionery company, at a moment when the commercial lithographic poster had become the dominant visual medium of Parisian public life. The commission was printed by Eugène Verneau in Paris, and it circulated widely on city hoardings and in shop windows, entering the visual vocabulary of the Belle Époque alongside works by Toulouse-Lautrec and Jules Chéret. Steinlen, a Swiss-born artist who had settled in Montmartre in 1881, was by the mid-1890s at the height of his poster output, contributing regularly to \u003cem\u003eLe Chat Noir\u003c\/em\u003e and other publications while accepting commercial commissions that he treated with the same compositional seriousness as his fine art work. This poster exemplifies the \u003cem\u003eArt Nouveau\u003c\/em\u003e graphic tradition as it manifested in France: legible, emotionally immediate, and technically accomplished in its management of flat color and contour. It is held in the collections of major poster archives internationally and remains one of the most reproduced works in the history of commercial graphic art, appreciated both for its pictorial warmth and for its role in documenting the domestic consumer culture of late-nineteenth-century France.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur archival \u003cem\u003egiclee\u003c\/em\u003e reproduction on museum-grade cotton canvas preserves details that standard poster reprints consistently lose: the subtle warm-to-cool gradation across the ochre background as it shifts from the heated center of the composition toward the cooler margins behind the cat's silhouette; the precise tonal separation between the woman's near-black jacket and the deep burgundy of her blouse, which in lesser reproductions collapses into a single undifferentiated dark; and the fine white chest marking on the cat, which anchors the foreground with a highlight that cheap offset prints render as a blown-out smear. Our source file has been digitally restored from high-resolution museum scans, recovering the original warmth of Steinlen's ochre ground and the clean, confident outlines of his figures: qualities that degraded poster-quality prints routinely sacrifice to reduce ink cost. The ornate composite frame, finished in aged gold, complements the terracotta lettering and warm cream ground of this composition without competing with the boldness of Steinlen's color choices, presenting the work as the considered piece of graphic art history that it is.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CanvasClassics","offers":[{"title":"Small \/ Gold \/

Journée: The Cat Family Came In – Théophile Steinlen, c. 1900","description":"\u003ch2\u003eFolle Journée: The Cat Family Came In by Théophile Steinlen, c. 1900\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFramed Canvas Art\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree cats burst through a doorway in a cascade of motion, their tabby-striped coats rendered in warm ochres, grey-greens, and cream whites against a sunlit parquet floor. \u003cstrong\u003eFolle Journée: The Cat Family Came In\u003c\/strong\u003e captures an interior flooded with afternoon light streaming through tall French doors; the pale gold of the floor tiles contrasts with the cooler sage tones of the paneled walls and the warmer amber of a wooden chair visible at the left edge. \u003cstrong\u003eA fourth cat retreats into the brightness of the corridor beyond\u003c\/strong\u003e, its silhouette dissolving into the backlit threshold and creating a spatial depth that pulls the eye from the animated foreground trio deep into the luminous background. The composition's diagonal energy, cats moving in three separate directions simultaneously, gives the scene the quality of a frozen instant rather than a posed arrangement, a hallmark of Steinlen's acute observational draftsmanship. The linework is confident and economical, consistent with his \u003cem\u003elithographic\u003c\/em\u003e training, while the color application reflects the flattened tonal passages characteristic of \u003cem\u003eArt Nouveau\u003c\/em\u003e illustration; shadows fall as soft, shaped silhouettes beneath each animal rather than as blended academic gradients.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThéophile-Alexandre Steinlen was a Swiss-born artist who became one of the defining visual voices of Montmartre at the turn of the twentieth century, and his relationship with cats was both personal and professional. He kept dozens of them in his studio on the rue Caulaincourt and drew them with a familiarity no other artist of his era matched. \u003cstrong\u003eFolle Journée\u003c\/strong\u003e, the title translating loosely as \"Wild Day\" or \"Madcap Day\", belongs to a series of illustrated vignettes Steinlen produced for popular French periodicals and gift publications around 1900, a period when he was at the height of his commercial and artistic output. Having already achieved international fame through his 1896 poster for the \u003cem\u003eChat Noir\u003c\/em\u003e cabaret, Steinlen was by this point translating his mastery of black-and-white \u003cem\u003elithography\u003c\/em\u003e into color illustration with increasing fluency. The \u003cem\u003eArt Nouveau\u003c\/em\u003e movement had given illustrators unprecedented critical respect, and publishers such as Flammarion commissioned Steinlen for elaborately produced cat-themed books that blurred the line between fine art and print culture. These works are now collected by institutions including the Bibliothèque nationale de France and the Victoria and Albert Museum, recognized as documents of both \u003cem\u003eBelle Époque\u003c\/em\u003e Parisian domestic life and the maturation of illustration as a serious art form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur archival giclee process on museum-grade cotton canvas is particularly well suited to a work like this one, where so much of the composition's character lives in transitional passages that degraded reproductions flatten entirely: the subtle graduation from the warm ivory of the floor tiles nearest the viewer into the cooler, bleached gold of the light-flooded corridor beyond rewards the extended color gamut of our archival inks in ways that poster-quality offset printing cannot replicate. The \u003cstrong\u003esoft grey-green shadow shapes cast beneath each cat\u003c\/strong\u003e, painted with deliberate edge control rather than blended softly, retain their precise geometry on our textured cotton weave, preserving Steinlen's intention that they read as graphic elements rather than atmospheric smudges. Our source file has been digitally restored from high-resolution museum scans, recovering the warm cream of the cats' chest fur and the fine hatched detailing in their tabby markings that compressed digital images reduce to uniform mid-tones. The ornate composite frame, finished in an antique gold, echoes the ochre warmth of the parquet floor and the amber tones of the background woodwork, grounding this lively domestic scene within a presentation that honors its \u003cem\u003eBelle Époque\u003c\/em\u003e origins.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CanvasClassics","offers":[{"title":"Small \/ Gold \/

Cats – Théophile Steinlen, 1894","description":"\u003ch2\u003eTwo Cats by Théophile Alexandre Steinlen, 1894\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFramed Canvas Art\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAgainst a pale ground flecked with \u003cstrong\u003escattered crimson and rust spatters\u003c\/strong\u003e, two cats occupy the composition in a relationship of quiet contrast: a \u003cstrong\u003ecalico cat curled in the foreground\u003c\/strong\u003e, its coat rendered in warm burnt sienna, raw umber, and chalky white, rests with its face turned gently outward; behind it, a \u003cstrong\u003esolid black cat sits upright\u003c\/strong\u003e, its silhouette sharp and commanding, anchoring the upper half of the canvas with a near-total absorption of light. The tonal range is deliberately compressed yet precise: the calico's patchwork coat catches the only warmth in the piece, while the black cat recedes into shadow save for the faintest suggestion of a turned ear and a whisker line. Steinlen's hand is loose and gestural here, relying on \u003cem\u003ealla prima\u003c\/em\u003e confidence: single strokes define the haunches of the calico, the tail curves with a single fluid sweep, and the background spattering reads less as accident than as the controlled energy of a printmaker working in paint. A monogram seal in red, Steinlen's own device, anchors the upper right corner, linking the work formally to the \u003cem\u003eaffiche\u003c\/em\u003e tradition in which he was already deeply embedded. \u003cstrong\u003eTwo Cats\u003c\/strong\u003e belongs to the intimate, observational side of Steinlen's output, distinct from his large-format poster commissions, and represents his sustained, nearly lifelong attention to the cat as a subject worthy of serious artistic scrutiny.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteinlen painted and drew cats with a consistency that no other major artist of the \u003cem\u003eBelle Époque\u003c\/em\u003e matched; by the early 1890s, when this work was produced, he had already become the defining visual voice of Montmartre's street life and cabaret culture through his collaboration with Aristide Bruant and his celebrated posters for the \u003cem\u003eChat Noir\u003c\/em\u003e cabaret. \u003cstrong\u003eTwo Cats\u003c\/strong\u003e was created during a period when Steinlen was at the height of his commercial and fine-art productivity, moving fluidly between \u003cem\u003eposter art\u003c\/em\u003e, illustration for publications such as \u003cem\u003eGil Blas illustré\u003c\/em\u003e, and smaller independent works that revealed his naturalist sympathies. His treatment of animals drew from the \u003cem\u003erealist\u003c\/em\u003e tradition established by Courbet and refined through the \u003cem\u003ePost-Impressionist\u003c\/em\u003e sensibility of the 1880s and 90s; he observed cats not as decorative symbols but as creatures with weight, posture, and behavioral specificity. The pairing of the calico and the black cat in this composition is not merely aesthetic: it reflects Steinlen's interest in the full social and tonal range of feline life as he encountered it daily in his Montmartre studio and the surrounding streets. The work has been held in European private and institutional collections and reproduced frequently as an example of Steinlen's capacity to work at intimate scale with the same authority he brought to large public formats; it remains among the most reproduced of his non-poster works precisely because it captures the two registers of his artistic personality: the \u003cem\u003edecorative\u003c\/em\u003e and the directly observed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCanvas Classics produces this work as an archival \u003cem\u003egiclee\u003c\/em\u003e print on museum-grade cotton canvas, sourced from high-resolution museum scans that have been digitally restored to recover the color accuracy and fine detail that standard poster reproductions flatten and lose. In \u003cstrong\u003eTwo Cats\u003c\/strong\u003e, the gradations that matter most are subtle ones: the transition from the calico's warm sienna flanks into the cooler white of its underbelly, the near-imperceptible boundary where the \u003cstrong\u003eblack cat's silhouette\u003c\/strong\u003e meets the spattered background, and the dry, chalky texture of Steinlen's gestural brushwork across the calico's coat. Mass-produced prints collapse the black cat into a uniform void and saturate the rust spatters beyond their actual weight in the original; our process preserves the full dynamic range from those \u003cstrong\u003edeep, light-absorbing blacks\u003c\/strong\u003e to the delicate warm highlights along the calico's curved back. The ornate composite frame, finished in an aged warm gold, draws out the burnt sienna and ochre tones of the calico's coat while providing the tonal grounding that the black cat's silhouette demands; the combination reads as a considered presentation rather than a generic mount, appropriate to a work of this period and lineage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CanvasClassics","offers":[{"title":"Small \/ Gold \/ Classic","offer_id":48905595158763,"sku":"1720611","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Small \/ Silver \/ Classic","offer_id":48905595191531,"sku":"1720612","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Small \/ Dark Bronze \/ Classic","offer_id":48905595224299,"sku":"1720613","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium \/ Gold \/ Classic","offer_id":48905595257067,"sku":"1720621","price":295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium \/ Silver \/ Classic","offer_id":48905595289835,"sku":"1720622","price":295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium \/ Dark Bronze \/ Classic","offer_id":48905595322603,"sku":"1720623","price":295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large \/ Gold \/ Classic","offer_id":48905595355371,"sku":"1720631","price":495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large \/ Silver \/ Classic","offer_id":48905595388139,"sku":"1720632","price":495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large \/ Dark Bronze \/ Classic","offer_id":48905595420907,"sku":"1720633","price":495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate \/ Gold \/ Classic","offer_id":48905595453675,"sku":"1720641","price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate \/ Silver \/ Classic","offer_id":48905595486443,"sku":"1720642","price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate \/ Dark Bronze \/ Classic","offer_id":48905595519211,"sku":"1720643","price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Small \/ Gold \/ Regency","offer_id":67572359725291,"sku":"172061R1","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Small \/ Silver \/ Regency","offer_id":67572359758059,"sku":"172061R2","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Small \/ Charcoal \/ Regency","offer_id":67572359790827,"sku":"172061R3","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Small \/ Gloss Black \/ Regency","offer_id":67572359823595,"sku":"172061R4","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Small \/ Gloss White \/ Regency","offer_id":67572359856363,"sku":"172061R5","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium \/ Gold \/ Regency","offer_id":67572359889131,"sku":"172062R1","price":295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium \/ Silver \/ Regency","offer_id":67572359921899,"sku":"172062R2","price":295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium \/ Charcoal \/ Regency","offer_id":67572359954667,"sku":"172062R3","price":295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium \/ Gloss Black \/ Regency","offer_id":67572359987435,"sku":"172062R4","price":295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium \/ Gloss White \/ Regency","offer_id":67572360020203,"sku":"172062R5","price":295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large \/ Gold \/ Regency","offer_id":67572360052971,"sku":"172063R1","price":495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large \/ Silver \/ Regency","offer_id":67572360085739,"sku":"172063R2","price":495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large \/ Charcoal \/ Regency","offer_id":67572360118507,"sku":"172063R3","price":495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large \/ Gloss Black \/ Regency","offer_id":67572360151275,"sku":"172063R4","price":495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large \/ Gloss White \/ Regency","offer_id":67572360184043,"sku":"172063R5","price":495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate \/ Gold \/ Regency","offer_id":67572360216811,"sku":"172064R1","price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate \/ Silver \/ Regency","offer_id":67572360249579,"sku":"172064R2","price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate \/ Charcoal \/ Regency","offer_id":67572360282347,"sku":"172064R3","price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate \/ Gloss Black \/ Regency","offer_id":67572360315115,"sku":"172064R4","price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate \/ Gloss White \/ Regency","offer_id":67572360347883,"sku":"172064R5","price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0762\/8606\/6923\/files\/theophile_steinlen__two_cats__medium__regency_white.jpg?v=1790819552"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0762\/8606\/6923\/collections\/theophile_steinlen__folle_journee_the_cat_family_came_in__large__silver-2769269.jpg?v=1787185704","url":"https:\/\/canvasclassics.shop\/collections\/theophile-steinlen.oembed","provider":"Canvas Classics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
