Description
A contemporary theorem painting on a cream-colored velvet support, depicting two cats seated on a black and white checkered floor beneath a stylized central tree.

The work is signed B. Updegrove in the lower right corner of the composition. It is housed in a dark brown wood frame with a feathered grain-painted finish. The back of the frame is covered in a tan and red plaid fabric and features a stamped label for the artist, Barbara Updegrove, including a Sanatoga, Pennsylvania address and phone number. A metal sawtooth hanger is affixed to the top center for wall mounting.
11.25 x 13.5 inches.
