A highly decorative, elegant painting of Siamese cats, 22" by 24" (32" by 34" in gold contemporary framing), signed at top edge by the noted American artist KENNETH STEVEN MACINTIRE (1891-1979).

The colors used----white, gold yellows, and black----make for a highly decorative composition that reminds of the Art Deco period...
