Sheet of drawings of cats and kittens by Elbert Weinberg. All of the cats and kittens are lying down and some are asleep. The drawings appear to depict actual cats and kittens and to have been made from life. It is likely but not certain that the drawings were made in the early 1980s when Weinberg made a number of sculptures depicting cats.

Sculptor Elbert Weinberg (1928-1991) was a Hartford native and Weaver High School graduate who maintained a studio in the Colt Building for many years. He worked in various mediums, including marble, bronze, and other metals. Twice awarded the prestigious Prix de Rome, Weinberg created sculptures that grace museums, public installations, and private collections throughout the United States and Europe.
