Patti McCarthy Watercolor, Cat in Blue & White Delft Plate

A charming original watercolor by Patti McCarthy, depicting a gray cat nestled playfully inside a richly patterned blue-and-white Delft-style plate. The whimsical subject combines traditional decorative porcelain motifs with McCarthy’s expressive animal portraiture, giving the work an elegant yet playful character.

The watercolor is presented in an ornate antique-style gilt frame with a generous cream mat and subtle decorative border. The combination of the blue-and-white imagery, delicate watercolor handling, and elaborate frame makes this a particularly appealing piece for a collected, traditional, or eclectic interior.

Patti often paints on old Florentine boards and plaques, and her work comes in vintage frames, so natural signs of age, wear and patina are part of each piece's character and are to be expected. All pieces are sold as-is, and any notable condition issues are described in the product listing. That said, if it arrives damaged or isn't as described, we'll refund you in full, including shipping — since each piece is one of a kind, we can't simply send a replacement. Otherwise, returns are accepted within 14 days of delivery. Questions any time at christine@tallmadgeave.com — we're a two-person shop, and we answer.
