Modelled seated and with an alert expression, its fur delicately painted in brown with tabby stripes, its eyes subtly picked out in yellow, on a simple mound base painted with a leafy spray of colourful flowers, 6.8cm high
Footnotes
Provenance
Simon Spero exhibition, 2012, no.46
Literature
White, Mary, Beasts at the Whites' House, Vol.1, 2020, p.16
This model captures the indignant expression which is often so typical of cats, so Mary White fittingly displayed it before her kennel of dogs. It served as the inspiration for the Lowestoft version. A pair of similar models is illustrated by Anton Gabszewicz and Geoffrey Freeman, Bow Porcelain, 1982, p.151, fig.253. For the companion model, see those sold by Bonhams on 23 June 2021, lot 122 and 1 December 2021, lot 387.
