Charming watercolor of Kittens a lovely example of Lambert's work , better know as the -Raphael of the Cats- signed right down with his well recognized and registered signature ,housed in the original French frame , measuring 14 inches wide ,9 inches H ,just the watercolor.

Born in Paris, 1825 studied with Eugène Delacroix and Paul Delaroche. He also copied the old masters at the Louvre, where he was very influenced by the Flemish School. Lambert debuted at the Salon in 1847 with a still life of birds. In 1854, he moved to the rue Notre-Dame-des-Champs in Paris, where he lived with other artists including Gerôme and Toulmouche, all working side-by-side, dedicated to their art. Lambert?s great success at the Salon of 1857 with ?Cat and Parakeet? decided his career; thereafter he garnered a world-wide reputation as a painter of cats and dogs, and was dubbed the ?Raphael of Cats.? He received medals in 1865, 1870 and was presented with the Chevalier of the Legion of Honor in 1874. In 1874, he painted Baron de Rothschild surrounded by his dogs.
