A Devon Rex Princess Looks Out From Behind a Wall of Pearls
A grey Devon Rex gazes out with enormous pale green eyes, her huge ears pointing straight up like a pair of satin bows. She wears a wide, layered lace collar and several long strands of pearls that fall across a blue velvet gown with gold buttons. A candle burns warmly on the right, and her slightly wavy, short coat seems to shimmer in the glow like fine silk. Her whiskers are short and fine, and her little chin is lifted with quiet pride.
Devon Rex cats are known for their soft, wavy coats, big ears and playful, people-loving nature. Many are active climbers and curious helpers who like to be involved in whatever their family is doing. Their delicate coat is short, so they can feel the cold and often enjoy warm, cozy spots. A good diet, safe indoor play and regular vet checkups keep this sociable breed in top form.
The princess has a slightly mischievous look, even in such a formal setting. Those ears and eyes give her a charming, pixie-like face that stands out among the heavy velvets and lace. The painter used soft grey tones for the fur, which blend smoothly with the cool blues of the gown, so the whole portrait feels calm and harmonious.
Royal manners can be hard work for a cat that loves to explore, but she wears the pearls with grace. Maybe the finest jewel in the portrait is simply those curious eyes.
