Charming and lively oil painting by the French animal painter Alfred Arthur Brunel de Neuville, an artist beloved for his refined and playful depictions of animals. In this atmospheric work, we see three curious kittens in a rustic courtyard. One kitten is attentively licking a plate clean, while the other two watch fascinatedly and play with a colorful ball. The soft fur textures, the lively posture of the animals, and the subtle lighting demonstrate the craftsmanship for which Brunel de Neuville is known. The background with a stone wall and stairs lends the scene a warm, homely atmosphere. The painting is executed in oil on panel and set in a richly decorated, gilded frame that complements the character of the work and the period. Brunel de Neuville was a specialist in cat paintings and exhibited regularly at the Salon de Paris. Details
