Regal Cat Gazes Over European Cityscape

More about Regal Cat Gazes Over European Cityscape

A highly-detailed oil painting on canvas shows a light brown and off-white cat wearing a ruffled cloak of gold and brown, sitting at a window overlooking an old European city with cobblestone streets and numerous church steeples. The cat has triangular ears and is looking intently towards the right side of the canvas. The buildings of the city are blurred by a yellowish, smoky atmosphere, with the tallest church spire silhouetted against a lighter sky in the middle of the canvas towards the top, with a slightly darker spire towards the bottom right of the canvas. The cat is swathed in a voluminous, ruched garment with many folds and gathers, ranging in color from gold to dark brown in the shadows, creating a luminous effect. The window frame is hinted at towards the very right of the canvas.
