Lot Essay

Though Zuzek generally stuck to naturalistic color schemes in her watercolors of animals, this Siamese cat pattern uses a bright blue. However, the shade closely matches this feline breed's typical eye color. The animals smile playfully amongst a web of cattails, a double entendre in this cat-themed prints. Zuzek had a wonderful sense of humor, and her paintings are filled with inside jokes.
