Trompe L'oeil Oil on Wood of a Frightened Cat Breaking Through a "Fabric" Wall

2024

About the Item

This stunning trompe l'oeil oil painting by Karen Bendersky captures a "Scaredy Cat" peering through a hole in what seems to be fabric. The cat’s wide-eyed, fearful expression is both amusing and captivating, drawing viewers into its world. Bendersky, a classically trained artist, showcases her remarkable skill in rendering every detail of the cat's fur, whiskers, and eyes with exquisite realism. A rising talent in the realm of animal painting, Bendersky evokes a unique emotional connection between the subject and the audience. This captivating piece stands out as a must-have for collectors, thanks to her vivid imagination and mastery of technique. Karen Bendersky signed the painting K B on the lower right hand corner next to the cat. Measuring 7” x 7” vertically and horizontally on a 1/2" thick wood panel, carved into an unusual quatrefoil shape, this oil painting requires no framing and is ready to hang, making it a beautiful conversation piece for any art collection.
