Original Description
Susan C. Waters’ charming oil painting Two Squirrels Eating Strawberries Watched By A Cat (1865) captures a delightful yet quietly suspenseful moment in nature. Executed in the refined realistic style of 19th-century American still-life and animal painting, Waters renders the scene with exquisite botanical accuracy—from the velvety strawberry leaves to the squirrels’ fluffy tails. The composition balances playfulness and tension: two plump squirrels feast obliviously while an orange tabby lurks intently in shadowed foliage, its watchful eyes adding narrative intrigue. As one of few recognized female animaliers of her era, Waters brought particular sensitivity to woodland scenes, blending scientific observation with storytelling charm. This work exemplifies her legacy in bridging Audubon’s naturalism with Victorian decorative appeal, offering both ornithological precision and domestic whimsy.
For interior styling, this 30 x 25 inch canvas thrives in traditional or cottage-chic spaces. Its earthy palette of moss greens and strawberry reds pairs beautifully with weathered oak frames and botanical textiles—consider hanging it above a farmhouse desk or in a sunlit breakfast nook framed by William Morris-patterned curtains. The painting’s intimate scale suits cozy corners; flank it with wrought-iron sconces to enhance its candlelit warmth. In modern offices, let it anchor a "library wall" alongside leather-bound books and brass accoutrements, its narrative quality sparking conversation. For color continuity, pull its burgundy tones into upholstery or Persian rugs. Importantly, position it at eye-level to appreciate Waters’ meticulous brushwork—the cat’s predatory gaze becomes wonderfully disconcerting when encountered at direct sightlines.
