Cats in Art: The Mona Lisa

Susan Herbert's delightful feline re-imaginings of great works of art in a jigsaw

What can make the Mona Lisa even better? Cats! Susan Herbert's beloved cat masterpieces are presented in a new 500-piece jigsaw format. With imagination, wit, and a knowing sense of mischief, Herbert transforms the world's great works of art into scenes starring her funny, irresistibly charming felines. Each piece brings you closer to a laugh-out-loud reveal, resulting in a distinctive, joy-filled image that's every bit as entertaining to complete as it is to admire.

Ever since her first book, A Cats Gallery of Art, was published by Thames & Hudson in 1990, Herbert's clever, witty reworkings of classic paintings have delighted readers everywhere. Numerous books followed, including the hugely popular compendiums Cats Galore (2015) and More Cats Galore (2021), as well as a delightful pop-up edition (2020). Many of her most mischievous and charming characters were inspired by her own cats, Polly and Clover, whose personalities shine through in every scene.
