It's a great print and that frame is perfect for it. It looks like something from the 18th or 19th century, so I was surprised that it's more modern. I'll have to keep an eye out for more of her work.

Supposedly there are numerous cat portraits out there by her. She painted them for friends.
My print is very large, like 2 feet tall, not including the frame. It used to be in a plain pine frame. I wish my guys grannie was still alive so I could ask her where she bought it, or hear what she had to say about it.
I can still see it clearly in her pretty pink bedroom...I guess one day this will belong to someone else too when I'm gone.
Strange thinking of antiques that way! Ok now I'm giving myself the creepy winter blahs!

Hello! What a surprise to find your blog and comments about Margaret McDonald Phillips! I have this print *and* a second one that is a portrait of a Siamese cat that is sitting in front of a female figure who is wearing a red tunic of sorts and there is a small green powder jar (?) in the foreground. I would be happy to share a picture of it with you. Dale in Ferndale MI

I also have the one of the large white cat. It is titled "Queen of Persia". I am glad to find your site, and wish I could find the "mate" to the one I have. They are georgeous!!

I also have the beautiful white cat that hung in my Grandmothers house for as long as I can remember. I had no idea there was a "mate" to her! Glad I found you guys....

I myself just learned of the other paintings. That's what I love about the internet! You can share and learn so much with other you would otherwise not know about.
