Witness my Act and Deed is a 1892 unspecified by Frank Paton, depicting Cat, held at British Museum.
This painting depicts a curious cat on a desk, its paw raised over a spilled inkwell. The cat's fur is striped with shades of brown and black, and it appears to be in the midst of creating a mess. The desk is cluttered with papers, quills, and other writing tools. The cat's actions seem to be the focal point of the painting, with the surrounding environment serving as a backdrop for its antics. The artist has captured the cat's movement and energy in a way that feels dynamic and engaging. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting adds depth and dimension to the scene, drawing the viewer's eye to the cat and its actions.
Frank Paton (23 November 1855 – 13 November 1909) was an English artist of the Victorian and Edwardian eras, best known for his paintings of animals and scenes of rural life.
