Description
Oscar the Grey Cat is an original work created in watercolor, ink, and pencil on semi-rough paper (2025, Minusio, Switzerland). The maximum outer dimensions, with mat included and without frame, are 21 × 30 cm. Portrait of the house cat, curious and mischievous.
This small affectionate and playful portrait is dedicated to the house cat, curious and mischievous. On semi-rough paper, the cat’s figure is rendered in watercolor in shades of grey and blue, which build the volume of the body and the soft thickness of the fur, while ink and pencil define whiskers, eyes, ears, and contours, emphasizing the alert and attentive expression. Oscar is seated, with his tail curled and his gaze directed upward, as if he had just noticed something interesting off-frame: a point of light, a sound, a game about to begin.
The background remains light and minimal, so that all the visual emphasis falls on the cat’s silhouette and the small details of the face, where a touch of color on the nose and in the eyes brings the scene to life. The combination of graphic line and watercolor creates a balance between sweetness and character, conveying Oscar’s lively and independent temperament without resorting to photographic realism. The 21 × 30 cm format makes it perfect as a portrait to hang in a study, living room, or bedroom, but also to place alongside other animals or domestic scenes, bringing a charming and contemporary feline presence to the space.
