An Unknown Woman and a Well Known Cat
Every elegant beauty in the history of art would love to be portrayed with Us, Zarathustra the Cat, but one Russian lady made her dream come true.
Evidently this very fashionably clothed young woman loved her cat so much that she embroidered the vet collar of her feline friend in the style of her gorgeous hat! Everything was done to cure not only the cat’s body, but also the cat’s soul:
Ivan Argunov, Portrait of an Unknown Woman in Russian Costume and a Well Known Cat in a Vet Collar, 1784
You should compare this masterpiece to the commonly known version to be seen at the Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow.
We dedicate Our discovery to all vet doctors of the world!
Thus speaks Zarathustra the Cat
UPD: A practical advice for March 2020: how not to touch your face with your hands:
1) Have your cat in your hands
2) Wear a fancy vet collar
Stay safe and take care!
BUY THIS ARTWORK as a CANVAS PRINT or as a POSTER
Kudos :)
This is so perfect.
This vet doctor thoroughly approves! I see a big gap in the market here – Tudor cat collars, Cat collars of the Hermitage, the opportunities abound!
oh, you are so right! thank you for the inspiration, We promise to fill this gap!
A cat likes to look handsome even after surgery, you know?
