DescriptionCraxton knew his cats – their inner lives. Indeed, as his partner Richard Riley pointed out: ‘Craxton was so familiar with the vocabulary of cat moves, gestures and stances that he could capture them with utter conviction in a few strokes of the pen or brush’. *Here we have startled cat, caught in the act, about to nab the morning’s catch. Is it guilt or indignation depicted across this feline’s face?*Andrew Lambirth: Craxton (2024) T&H.
