Playing, from the late 19th century. This delightful portrait depicts a delicate domestic scene with two small cats, one

emerging from a wicker basket, while the other is captured playfully with a ball of wool.

The scene is rendered with great pictorial sensitivity and attention to detail, typical of animal painting between the 19th and early 20th centuries.

The skillful use of warm light, soft shades, and the realistic rendering of the feline fur give the work a strong decorative and emotional value.

The old master painting is signed lower left A. Roy, a minor French painter.

Aimée Roy (19th–20th century), an artist known for her intimate, bourgeois scenes, active between the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The work also features a beautiful, authentic, pure gold leaf gilded frame, contemporary with the 19th-century painting.

The antique painting and frame have been professionally and meticulously restored.

Antique painting, late 19th century. French antique.
