Cat artist painting a regal yorkshire terrier portrait

A large silver-gray cat sits on a stool in front of a canvas on an easel, on the right side of the image. He is wearing tattered jeans and a white smock. He is leaning around the canvas looking at the subject he is painting. In the center of the image a large Female Yorkshire Terrier, elegantly dressed as in the 15th Century in a lovely aqua brilliantly colored ball gown, sits in a tufted red wing-back chair, posing for a portrait. The ball gown is very modest, and is completed by an aqua lace shawl up to her neck. She is wearing a diamond tiara. The canvas on the easel has a partially complete painting of that portrait. The artist has a pallet of colors in one hand, and an artist paintbrush in the other. The artist is leaning around the canvas, looking at the female. The scene is an attic hovel. The floor is littered with paint-stained rags. The scene is illuminated by an open skylight on the left side of the image. The incoming light highlights the Yorkie’s pose. The artist cat, and the Yorkie are the only two animals in the image.
