ANTIQUE PAINTINGS, SMALL PORTRAIT OF TWO PLAYING CATS, OIL ON PANEL, LATE 19TH CENTURY (QA751)
The Antique Paintings – Cat Portraits category presents a charming oil on panel painting depicting a small portrait of
two curious kittens at play, dating to the late 19th century.
This refined animalier portrait portrays a delicate domestic scene featuring two young cats: one emerging from a
wicker basket, the other caught in a playful pose with a ball of yarn.
The composition is executed with remarkable pictorial sensitivity and meticulous attention to detail, typical of animal
painting between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The skillful use of warm light, soft tonal transitions, and the
realistic rendering of feline fur give the artwork a strong decorative and emotional appeal.
The antique painting is signed lower left A. Roy, a minor French painter renowned for her intimate bourgeois-inspired scenes,
active between the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The artwork is complemented by a beautiful original gilded frame in genuine gold leaf, dating to the 19th century
and perfectly contemporary with the painting.
Both the antique oil painting and its frame have undergone professional and careful restoration.
Late 19th-century antique painting. French antiquity.
