The Best Little Antique Pencil Drawn Cutout Cat! Japanese porcelain and has many good years

and has many good years of play in yet

but I've looked and looked and not found another like this one

not older than mid-20th c I am pretty sure

I believe this painting is American and likely dates to the late-ish 1800s

The Best Little Antique Pencil Drawn Cutout Cat! Japanese porcelain and has many good yearsMew! Those whiskers! This guy is small, but one of my favorite things ever. I know based on a few other little watercolors I purchased along with it that it was done by a school girl in the 1800s, and what a happy thing that it has endured. I'd frame it up and hang it in a cozy corner. 3 7 16" t x 2 1 2" w, pencil on lined paper and in great antique condition.
