This is a wonderful and charming Antique Old 19th c. American Folk Art CAT Kitten Oil Painting on Artist Board, depicting a striped gray & black tabby cat lapping up milk from a large saucer on the floor. The cat is rendered with exquisite and realistic detail, and the scene is heartwarming and affectionate in its tone.

Signed: "Greenus" in the lower left corner. I could not identify the artist behind this piece, but perhaps you recognize them or their work? Approximately 15 3/8 x 18 3/8 inches including frame. Actual artwork is approximately 11 3/8 x 14 3/8 inches.

This painting likely dates to the 1880's - 1900's. Good condition for over a century of age, with moderate scuffing, edge wear, gilding loss and cracks to the ornate hand carved gilded wood frame please see photos carefully. Additionally, there are a few faint scuffs to the painted surface. This fantastic piece of 19th century American Folk Art and cat iconography is priced to sell.
