A cat portrait in the Royal style
Velvet mantle, gold braid, a sash and deep crimson drapery — the regal pet portrait, painted in the manner of a baroque court painter, from $49.
What Royal does with a cat. Velvet mantle, gold braid, a sash and crimson drapery around a face and markings that are kept exactly. Only the clothes are invented. The braid and the fabric highlights are the richest passages.
The photo. Window light, eyes open and level with the camera, a slight turn of the head. Cats rarely hold still, so take ten photos and upload the sharpest; the preview is free.
The size. 12×18 to 16×24 — cats suit smaller, jewel-like sizes on a dark ground; 24×36 if the cat is the room's main character.

A person checks the full-resolution proof, and you see it before anything prints; if it isn't right, we repaint it until it is.
