Original Description
Two plump tabby cats lounge regally in an ornate rococo armchair in Jean Eric Rehn's charming 18th-century watercolor Tva kattor i en lanstol. Painted around 1770 by the Swedish architect-artist who designed Stockholm's Royal Palace interiors, this whimsical work exemplifies the emerging Romantic era's playful anthropomorphism while showcasing Rehn's exquisite draftsmanship. The delicate peach-and-gray felines radiate cozy contentment as they claim their gilded throne, their curled tails mirroring the chair's sinuous carvings. This rare surviving animal study from Rehn - better known for his neoclassical architecture - offers a precious glimpse into 18th-century Scandinavian artists' growing fascination with everyday domesticity. Today it's celebrated as a pioneering precursor to later animal portrait traditions, bridging the gap between formal Baroque still lifes and 19th-century sentimental pet paintings.
For modern interiors, this 12×16 inch artwork makes an enchanting focal point in reading nooks or dining areas. Frame it in distressed gold to accentuate the warm tones in the cats' fur and the chair's woodwork, ideally hanging at eye level on a soft sage or peachy-beige wall. Its intimate scale suits gallery walls among smaller botanical prints, while the rococo motifs pair beautifully with curved-leg furniture and floral upholstery. In offices, display it near velvet armchairs to create a welcoming vibe - the cats' relaxed posture subconsciously puts visitors at ease. For color continuity, add mercury glass vases or copper accents that echo the painting's metallic highlights. Rotate seasonal floral arrangements (peach roses in summer, white anemones in winter) to maintain visual dialogue with the artwork's palette. Most importantly, position it where natural light can illuminate the translucent watercolor layers just as Rehn intended.
