Victorian Postcard — Girl Painting a Portrait of Her Cat

A little girl kneels at her low play-table, paintbrush in hand, absorbed in capturing her cat's likeness on paper — while the cat itself perches beside her palette, watching the process with evident suspicion. Helen Jackson titled this chromolithograph ‘Pussie's Portrait’, and a forgotten rag doll and picture book lie abandoned on the floor nearby.

A fond pick for cat owners, art students, or anyone who's ever tried to draw a pet that won't hold still.
