Tucked amid fallen fruit and fine drapery, a wide-eyed black kitten peeks out with a blend of innocence and mischief in Curiosity in Velvet Shadows. The rich, moody tones of the kitten’s fur contrast beautifully with the warm reds and soft whites that surround it, evoking the feel of an old-world still life brought to life by an unexpected guest. This endearing oil painting, measuring 5x7 inches (8x10 inches with its ornate black and gold frame), brings a touch of playfulness and mystery to any classic or eclectic collection.
