Frederick Dielman (1847-1935) was an artist who produced a variety of paintings and lithographs. This one is definitely kitschy and adorable: it can be found in the Boston Public Library. The cat looks either bewildered or uncomfortable. She is giving a look that seems to say, "You're not going to show this embarrassing picture to anyone, are you?"
I would say that Pussycat deserved a substantial modeling fee, wouldn't you?
