The title of the work, Three Cats, Alstow refers to the charming trio of felines pictured in the bottom right of the composition. The subject of attention for a group of enraptured children, the three black, furry outlines are but a small element of what is one of Lowry’s most lively and entertaining lithographs. Depicting the point where two meandering streets meet, the scene is brought to life by all the characters who inhabit this little junction in Alston. From the baby in its pram, wailing with arms raised, and the figure fallen flat on his face, to the conversing couple in the foreground and dog-walking family on the left, these amusing little vignettes imbue the composition with a vivacious positivity rarely found in Lowry’s work. It has been noted that the inclusion of so many children suggests that the scene takes place during school holidays, where families were able to spend time together.
