Item/Description: Vintage 1985 "Seal Point Siamese Cat “ framed decorative art print lithograph from a painting by former Hallmark Cards designer & artist, Stephanie Stouffer Delightfully charming imagery depicted is that of an exquisitely elegant blue-eyed Seal Point Siamese Cat stealthily posing behind an elegant vase filled with graceful white Calla Lilies in full bloom. Both vase and kitten are resting atop a wooden shelf covered with a draping lovely white antique lace doily
So lifelike is this feline charmer that his lush tail almost appears to be “swishing” back and forth right before your eyes, and the thought crosses one’s mind that at any moment he might pounce from his perch, toppling the vase as he does so. ;~)
