About this artwork
When starting his career as a graphic artist Frits van Roon tried his hand at making a sculpture in socalled 'Bleu Belge', a locally used building stone. His subject was these two cats - indeed two brothers - who during most of the day lay entwined and always in this characteristic way on a chair in his studio . It was the first stone sculpture of many to follow.
