A beautifully framed vintage print depicting a tender scene of kittens playing among books and ink, believed to date from the 1920s or 1930s. Sourced from a brocante in Paris, this piece carries a timeless charm that will appeal to lovers of classic animal art and vintage interiors alike.
The work is signed by Charles Henry Blair, a British artist known for his sentimental depictions of animals, active during the late 19th to early 20th century. His tender and nostalgic style has remained appreciated over time, and his works appear in various auction records, particularly those featuring vintage and animal-themed art. This charming piece is a lovely example of his gentle, illustrative touch.
Whether placed in a cosy reading nook or added to a gallery wall, this piece is a delightful nod to a bygone era. A wonderful gift for cat lovers or vintage print collectors, and a rare find in such well-preserved condition.
