Oil portrait of a grey Devon Rex cat with large ears in a navy velvet coat with gold epaulettes beside a lit candle 5 / 21

The Devon Rex Admiral Watched the Horizon With Huge Green Eyes

AI imagedevon rexadmiralbaroque portrait

Huge ears, pale green eyes, and fine curly fur give this admiral a look that is both serious and a little elfin. His navy velvet coat is trimmed with thick golden fringed epaulettes, brass buttons, and delicate golden embroidery on the collar. A lit candle on a brass stand glows to the right, lighting one side of his face and giving his grey coat a soft sheen. He stares straight forward, as if watching the horizon for any sign of trouble. The ridges of his wavy fur look like tiny ripples, and his tall ears are full of faint pink light.

Devon Rex cats are playful, affectionate, and curious. Their short, wavy coat sheds very little, but their skin can be sensitive, so gentle grooming is best. Their large ears collect wax, and a vet can show you how to clean them safely. Devons often love to climb onto shoulders and watch from high places, so tall cat trees are a good fit. Many are also food lovers, so a vet can help you pick a good diet. They crave attention and often want to be near their favorite person.

A real flame near a curious cat is a bad idea, so flameless candles are safer. In the painting, the glow is purely for effect. The admiral stays on duty, whiskers high and eyes alert.
