Grayscale Tabby Cat Art Print Appraisal

Grayscale Tabby Cat Art Print

This item is an art print featuring a highly detailed, realistic depiction of a domestic cat's head. The print is oriented vertically, with the cat's head positioned as if looking upwards from the lower left corner towards the upper right. The cat's fur is primarily shades of grey and white, with prominent darker tabby stripes on its forehead and ears, rendered with fine detail to suggest individual hairs. The eyes are a striking feature, appearing large and round with dark pupils and lighter irises, conveying a curious or alert expression. The nose is a soft pink, and numerous long white whiskers are delicately rendered, extending outwards from the muzzle. The background is a solid black or very dark grey, creating a strong contrast that makes the cat stand out. The print appears to be on a matte or semi-gloss paper, and there are some minor signs of wear visible, such as slight scuffs or creasing, particularly along the edges or surface, though these do not significantly detract from the main image. A signature or marking is visible in the upper left corner, appearing as stylized white script that resembles 'Ko Ho' or 'Ko Ho F', suggesting the artist's name or an identification mark. The overall quality of the print and the intricate rendering of the cat's fur and features suggest a high level of artistic skill in the original artwork. The style appears contemporary, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century, focusing on photorealistic animal portraiture.
