cat portraits

Painted pet faces

Artistic representations of cats, typically photographs or paintings that depict a cat with the formal composition associated with human portraiture.

The term covers both professional pet photography and commissioned paintings, as well as humorous images styled after classical portraits: She got cat portraits done for her Christmas cards.

The genre ranges from serious fine art to deliberately absurd depictions of cats in Renaissance attire.
