Framed Lithograph of Mother Cat and Kittens by Leon Hubert

This item is a vintage framed lithograph featuring a mother tabby cat with her kittens nestled among wild foliage and red berries. The artwork is presented in a large, prominent mitered wooden frame with a high-gloss maroon or deep red lacquered finish. The print itself exhibits a classic mid-20th-century aesthetic, likely dating from the 1960s or 1970s. The central mother cat is depicted with detailed fur texture and an attentive expression, surrounded by playful kittens in various poses. The artist's signature, 'Leon Hubert', is visible in the lower right-hand corner of the print. The paper appears to have a slight aged yellowing or cream patina, which is common for prints of this era. The frame shows some signs of use, including minor reflections on the protective glass and potentially small scuffs to the lacquered surface. The construction of the frame is substantial, featuring a wide profile that emphasizes the central artwork. Quality indicators include the fine line work of the lithographic process and the bold, idiosyncratic choice of frame color, which suggests it was a decorative gallery piece or a high-end home decor item of its time.
