Olen vuosien aikana kerännyt aikamoisen määrän kissakortteja. Museoiden kaupat ovat oikeita aarreaittoja kissakorttien kerääjälle. Useat korteistani ovat taidekortteja.
Those cat´s eyes! The eyes watch you heartbreaking accusingly or pleadingly. The cat is a part of a bigger painting: "A Boy and Girl with a Cat and an Eel". The artist is Judith Leyster (1609-1660), one of the few Dutch women painters in the 1600`s. There are only about 25 known works of Leyster, portraits, genre paintings, flowers and animals. The brush strokes are fine, almost every hair of the cat´s coat is visible and the eyes sparkle. This painting is in National Gallery, London, where also this postcard was sometimes bought.
I have collected quite a large number of cat cards over decades. Museum shops are treasure-troves for a cat card collector. Several of my cat cads are art cards.
