Cat Portrait No. 20 – Tile Mural

A British Shorthair with luminous amber eyes gazes directly forward, its expression calm and contemplative.

Every mural is printed and kiln fired to order in Somerset, England, on ceramic tiles in your choice of three sizes — 10cm, 15cm or 20cm — and two finishes, Gloss or Matt. Colours are fired into the glaze, so the design is permanent, scratch resistant and completely waterproof, making it suitable for kitchen splashbacks, bathrooms and showers.

The portrait captures the cat’s plush, blue-grey coat with subtle tabby markings, rendered in thick, expressive brushstrokes that suggest an oil painting. Soft light illuminates the scene from the right, highlighting the cat’s fur and the creamy, golden-hued flowers that frame the composition. The overall mood is one of quiet warmth and gentle affection, set against a softly blurred, painterly background.

In a living room, this mural becomes a warm and characterful focal point. The soft, warm tones in the background and the cat’s eyes complement neutral or earth-toned décor, introducing a gentle feature without overwhelming the space.
