A lovely and cute painting, oil on canvas, complete with frame.
It captures a delightful scene of curiosity and play between kittens.
In this charming composition, five young kittens lie on straw inside a wicker suitcase, surrounded by warm and welcoming tones that evoke a sense of comfort and tranquility.
The artist's attention to the playful and curious nature of kittens is evident in their expressive faces and relaxed poses.
At the bottom right there is a label with the writing: "Express Paris 106 P.L.M", as if the suitcase was to be shipped by rail, in fact the acronym "P.L.M. stands for "Compagnie des chemins de fer de Paris à Lyon et à la Méditerranée" (it was one of the main private French railway companies, founded in 1857 and merged into SNCF in 1938).
The painting is in first canvas and has not undergone any type of restoration, good state of conservation.
