The Best Little Antique Pencil Drawn Cutout Cat! Japanese porcelain Just lovely things

Just lovely things

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

and is signed Monk on the back

Hastings is written in pencil on the underside of one box

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

The Best Little Antique Pencil Drawn Cutout Cat! Japanese porcelain Just lovely thingsMew! 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.
