Cabinet card studio portrait depicting two young girls posed with one holding their cat. Albumen print on mount, late 19th century. The mount bears the imprint of Warren, P.O. Building, Lowell, Massachusetts. One child stands at left, resting an arm on an ornate studio pedestal decorated with relief ornament, while the younger girl sits at right on a balustrade-style bench holding a dark-colored cat in their lap. The seated child wears a dress with a wide lace collar and holds the cat close against the torso, while the standing child wears a fitted dress with a row of prominent buttons down the front and pleated skirt. Both wear dark stockings and boots. The backdrop features painted foliage, with ferns and plants framing the scene, and the floor is covered with a textured studio rug.
