Darren Baker
Curiosity Original Pastel Portrait of a Cat by Contemporary Artist

About the Item

Renowned for his hyperrealist technique and masterful draughtsmanship, British artist Darren Baker captures the quiet charm and inquisitive spirit of the feline form in Curiosity. This original pastel on paper depicts a tender moment of stillness, as a cat pauses in soft contemplation, its fur delicately rendered with exquisite precision and warmth. Baker, a former official portrait artist to Her Majesty The Queen and celebrated for his portraits of high-profile figures, brings the same finesse and emotional resonance to this intimate study of a domestic companion. The subtle interplay of light and texture invites the viewer into a serene and soulful encounter. Professionally framed and ready to hang, Curiosity is a compelling addition for collectors of animal portraiture, British contemporary art, or works that evoke a quiet, emotive narrative.
