This almost meter tall wooden cut out portrays a boy showing off a kitten he captured in his hat. It is painted with oil paints and placed, in this installation, in the far corner of an elegantly furnished room, so that the boy faces the room’s entry door and seems to engage directly with whomever enters the room. He has light skin and a circle of carefully coiffed, wavy, dark hair that is pulled back from his face and grazes his shoulders. He has a round face; high forehead; wide set, small, dark eyes; a pug nose; a cupid’s bow shaped, slightly open mouth; and chubby cheeks. His short right arm holds a broad brimmed hat upside down, close to his body.  He points, with the index finger of his left hand, to a calico kitten sitting upright in the crown of the hat. The kitten’s left paw touches the brim of the hat as it lifts its body, and looks, impassively, directly at the viewer.  The boy is dressed in a knee length, light colored gown with vertical lines of pearl-like decorations. The gown has full sleeves that are gathered at his wrists. A short rectangular neck cloth and an embroidered shawl around his left shoulder and over his right arm complete his costume. His legs are bare in his thick, dark, ankle length shoes with round buckles and one inch heels.
