Custom cat portraits

A cat portrait from your own photo

One photo of your cat is enough. We compose the portrait in the style you choose, you judge it before you pay, and five working days later it hangs — printed on 308 g/m² Hahnemühle cotton paper, frame included.

Why here

A cat is not an average cat

It is your cat

The pattern in the coat, the set of the ears, the colour of the eyes: the portrait follows the photo, not a template. Anyone who knows your cat recognises her from across the room.

Sixty styles, one gaze

From Rembrandt gold to a single unbroken line. Every style was tested on cats — coat, gaze and posture — before it went on the wall.

You see it beforehand

No surprise at the door: you judge the portrait before you pay for anything. We print only after your approval, in pigment ink, with every sheet checked by hand.

The unveiling

From kitchen photo to masterpiece

On the left the photo you send us, on the right what the atelier makes of it. Slide the beam of light and judge for yourself.

The collection

Styles that flatter a cat

What you send

The photo a cat portrait deserves

I

At eye level

Get down on your knees. A cat photographed from above becomes a cat with a small body and a large head — in every style.

II

Daylight from the side

By the window, without flash. Side light draws the whiskers and the gleam in the eyes; a flash turns every eye into a green disc.

III

The head large in the frame

Come close or crop the photo. We need the eyes sharp, not the whole sofa.

The breed gallery

Every breed its own room

From Bengal to Sphynx: nine breeds described from the workbench, with the styles that flatter each one. Pedigree or not — every portrait is made from your own photo.

The concierge

Questions about the cat portrait

For the cat who is no longer here, we keep a quieter room of our own.
