The Widow | Frederick Dielman | 19th Century

A tabby cat faces the viewer within the wide circle of a white ruff, a small bell hanging beneath its chin. Dielman sets the pale folds against a warm brown background, drawing attention to the animal’s alert eyes and finely described fur. The formal arrangement borrows the conventions of human portraiture, while the ruff’s exaggerated scale introduces a gently comic note. The direct gaze gives the small sitter an unmistakable presence.
