Victor Gabriel Gilbert — Lady Feeding Her Kitten · Art Postcard

In this Victor Gabriel Gilbert interior, a young woman in a ribboned white gown leans from her chair to spoil a small tabby-and-white kitten perched on the tea table, offering it a taste from a silver spoon while a gilt clock and an ornate mirror preside over the room from the mantel. The scene has none of the grandeur its furnishings might suggest — carved marble, velvet upholstery, candlesticks — the real subject is the small comedy of a cat too eager for its treat and a mistress too amused to mind. Reproduced on 350 g/m² card stock at 10×15 cm, it suits anyone who collects domestic, lightly humorous genre scenes as easily as a note to a cat-loving friend. Part of the Victor Gabriel Gilbert collection of Parisian everyday life.
