Albert Cat by Heidi Levy (HJL)

This is an original oil painting on linen measuring 12x16 inches, titled 'Albert Cat' by contemporary artist Heidi Levy. The composition features a ginger and white bicolour cat, depicted with a whimsical red necktie, lounging comfortably on a dark purple wingback chair. To the left, a tall, slender orange vase holding a delicate budding branch rests on a surface, providing a balanced vertical element to the scene. The palette is rich and saturated, dominated by deep plums, oranges, and earthy greens. The artist's signature, 'HJL', is clearly visible in a stylized script in the lower-left corner. The brushwork shows a confident contemporary realism, with particular attention paid to the texture of the chair’s fabric and the luster of the cat's fur. The painting is housed in a substantial, decorative gold-toned frame with beaded inner detailing and a mottled, lustrous finish. The artwork appears to be in excellent condition with no visible signs of craquelure, paint loss, or surface grime. The linen support provides a fine, sturdy grain that enhances the detail of the oil application. The style is characteristic of modern pet portraiture, blending classical furniture motifs with a playful, personified subject matter.
