Antonio Xuana: Patchwork CatThis wonderful cat by Antonio Xuana looks as if it has just turned to meet your gaze and decided to stay a while. The carving is beautifully balanced: alert ears, straight back, and that long, curved tail give it the elegant posture of a feline that knows it rules the room. You can feel the care in every curve of the body, from the rounded paws to the slightly lifted head, ready to purr or pounce. Antonios painting is a feast of color and pattern.
