EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Kitty" and created by the renowned New Zealand artist Edmund Blampied in 1913, transports us back in time to an era of elegance and allure. The young woman in the photograph, dressed in a theatrical costume reminiscent of the early 20th century, gazes intently into a hand mirror. Her reflection reveals an image of grace and beauty, as she meticulously adjusts her elaborate hairstyle and checks her makeup. The scene is further enhanced by the presence of her three black cats, playfully frolicking at her feet. Their inquisitive eyes and mischievous expressions add a delightful contrast to the lady's refined demeanor. The soft glow of the standard lamp casts a warm, inviting light over the entire setting, creating an intimate and enchanting atmosphere. Blampied's mastery of light and shadow is evident in the way the mirror reflects not only the woman's image but also the intricate details of her surroundings. The rich textures of her velvet dress, the delicate lace of her collar, and the elegant folds of her skirt are all brought to life through his skilled brushstrokes. This work of art, with its timeless beauty and intriguing narrative, invites us to appreciate the allure of the past and the enduring bond between women and their feline companions. The intriguing interplay of glass, mirror, and reflection, combined with the playful antics of the cats, make "Kitty" a truly mesmerizing piece of art that continues to captivate viewers over a century after it was created.
