Early 19th Century Framed drawing of a kitten in a basket, original frame and from my own collection. The tabby kitten looks like a British Shorthair, a breed I love. A killer face with a smile and the biggest eyes. 11 1/2" by 15". There are some losses to the frame which didn't bother me since these things are age appropriate. This drawing is very well done and is a great piece of Americana.
