Cat Hat Matte Art Print

“My, what a pretty hat!“ they exclaimed. Little did they know that her cat fell asleep on her hat and she simply didn’t have the heart to wake her. The finest of accidental occasional fashions!

A vintage portrait with a ginger cat curled into the sitter’s hair, this print runs on a palette of marmalade orange, soft charcoal grey halftone, inky black, warm ivory and a punchy coral pink outline – playful colours with a knowing, retro wit. That combination sings against crisp white or warm off-white walls, but it holds its own just as confidently on sage green, dusty pink or a deep teal feature wall, where the orange really glows. Stylistically it belongs in eclectic maximalist rooms, pop art-leaning interiors and retro mid-century schemes, and it slips happily into grandmillennial spaces where vintage portraiture is worn with a wink. Hang it in a hallway to raise a smile on the way in, above a dressing table or in a reading corner, or in a home office where a little absurdity helps the day along – and it is an easy, affectionate gift for the cat lover in your life. It comes from Collage Corner, a charmingly unpredictable medley of prints for the adventurous and the eclectic, and it pairs beautifully with other pieces from the collection on a gallery wall that celebrates the beautifully chaotic.

The print is made with archival pigment inks on Enhanced Matte art paper, a smooth museum-grade stock whose soft, glare-free surface means no reflections cutting across the cat’s stripes, whatever the light. That matte finish suits both a slim modern frame and something more ornate and vintage – a gilt or dark wood frame plays nicely with the portrait’s period roots. At A4 (21 × 29.7 cm) it works on a shelf, a desk or as a witty note within a gallery wall; A3 (29.7 × 42 cm) makes a proper statement above a console or dresser; and A2 (42 × 59.4 cm) is large enough to anchor a wall on its own in a living room or bedroom. This artwork is also available as a 28×40" (70×100 cm) canvas print, ready to hang with no frame needed.
