Vintage - Cats Dancing to Jazz on the Beach,

Vintage artwork by Arthur Thiele depicts a fun and lively scene on the beach by the sea. The Cat's Yazz Band is on stage playing jazz on the beach while a group of dancers take a twirl on the sand with their partners. The dancing cat couples each include a female wearing a colorful skirt and matching scarf. The German artist, Carl Robert Arthur Thiele (1860-1936) commonly went by the name Arthur Thiele. He was an illustrator of books, sheet music and postcards. He was famous for his comical anthropomorphic animals dressed in clothing and depicted in human-like scenes. Dachshunds were a favorite subject of his. In addition to animals, other subjects he illustrated were sports postcards, vegetables brought to life, snowmen, bathing beauties, and WW1 era propaganda postcards. The Internet is full of references confusing Carl Robert Arthur Thiele with another German painter of his time named Julius Arthur Thiele who painted landscapes. They are not the same artist.
