About the Item
Painted with high good humor and a measure of slyness, this famed illustration of Jack Sprat and his cat with basket in hand, was painted in watercolor and gouache by Swedish-American artist Carle Michel Boog. The image of the cat on his hind legs in an 18th century coat is quite wonderful, and Boog's depiction of a rose garden in the foreground and leaded windows behind gives the painting rich atmosphere.
