Chopin did cartoons and illustrations, too. His pen and ink drawings of cats playing on music manuscript were very popular when I was a child.

Really don't have any idea about this,most people know him just as 'the poet of the piano'.But this is nice to know about his sketching art.Does anyone here has sketches made by Chopin. Eager to see his sketches and caricatures.
