Stylized black and white cats depicted in symmetrical poses against an intricate golden Celtic pattern, showcasing decorative art with feline elegance
Two identical black and white cats are rendered in a decorative art style against an ornate golden background featuring Celtic-inspired knotwork patterns. The cats are portrayed in a symmetrical composition, with stark contrasts between their black fur and white chest markings.
Each cat features distinctive tuxedo markings with white bibs and faces marked by black masks. Their eyes are prominently displayed as almond-shaped with a penetrating gaze. The cats are positioned in slightly different poses - one sitting upright, the other in a more elongated stance - while maintaining mirror-like symmetry in their overall presentation.
The artwork combines traditional Celtic design elements with Art Nouveau influences, creating a sophisticated decorative piece that elevates domestic cats to iconic status. The intricate background pattern and formal composition suggest this piece was designed for ornamental purposes, possibly inspired by medieval manuscript illustrations.
