Miniature framed cat art print on canvas, vintage-style reproduction of an antique oil painting featuring a tuxedo cat and white kitten lounging on a green sofa. Perfect for Victorian interiors, eclectic gallery walls, and lovers of moody feline drama.

A Tuxedo Cat and a White Kitten on a Green Sofa by Carl Kahler (c.1890) captures the exact kind of domestic drama only cats can stage. The tuxedo sits composed and worldly, while the white kitten hisses from the arm of the sofa - small, furious, and thoroughly unimpressed. Kahler had a reputation for painting cats as if they were aristocrats, and here he gives us the full social hierarchy in fur and attitude.

This miniature oil painting reproduction is printed on archival canvas and paired with a handcrafted frame cast in Hydrocal plaster, using a mold from a 19th-century antique. Finished in-studio to capture the texture and patina of a real antique frame, it offers all the beauty of an heirloom – without having to inherit it. Available in aged gold or classic black, depending on your mood (or your wall).

Sized in our Mini format, this piece fits perfectly on a shelf, gallery wall, or any small space that deserves something with character and a bit of attitude. It arrives in a custom gift box that includes a removable art card from my curated collection of early 20th-century Swiss lithographed trading cards. On the back: a short message tied to the image - something between a fortune and a pep talk from the ghosts of a Swiss art collective. They’re collectible, slightly mysterious, and full of charm. Designs vary and yours will be chosen at random unless you request a specific one. See the last photo for the full collection. Inside the box, you’ll find a picture pin and an artist card with all the painting’s details.

This print is currently shown in our mini frame, but it's also available in the small frame. If you'd prefer the small version, just message me and I’ll make it appear like magic (or at least pretty quickly).

Perfect for:
- Cat owners who’ve ever been publicly judged by something under ten pounds.
- Fans of quiet luxury and loud opinions.
- Anyone who’s lived with two personalities in one room and a single shared nerve.
- Collectors of Victorian drama disguised as decor.
