Horatio Henry Couldery (1832-1893) Naughty cats eating a five pound note Signed Oil on canvas 23 x 33cm; 9 x 13in This charming picture of two mischievous cats was reputedly painted at the request of their owner to record a true incident. The cats' owner must have been either considerably wealthy or very well disposed towards his pets - the equivalent value of that note today would be £500.
