Portrait of a Cat

Glenalvin Goodridge

National Gallery of Art

This grayscale photograph shows a cat resting on the woven seat of a wooden chair. The cat has a tuxedo pattern with darker fur on its back and legs and lighter fur on its face and paws. Its pointed ears are upright, and it looks toward us, its face slightly blurred. The chair has a simple design with a decorative back. The background is plain and light-colored. The oval photograph is framed in an ornate rectangular golden frame carved with floral motifs.
