Charles Blackman’s ‘Reading with a Cat’ is a bewitching work of art. It pictures a forlorn girl, locked into study at her desk, a cat watching her and a bird fluttering above her head. Perhaps she is daydreaming, the bird symbolic of her soaring imagination.

‘Reading with a Cat’ comes from Blackman’s personal collection and was never published. It is accompanied with a Certificate of Authenticity from The Charles Blackman Foundation. For collectors of modern art, escape the day with ‘Reading with a Cat’.
