Geometric Forms Color Study Vintage Watercolor tool from strong brow to proud

from strong brow to proud nose to deeply carved  long whiskers--adding up to a sense that this cat is rather staring one down and clearly has the upper hand

It is in fantastic condition and really just a little gem of a thing

it is an example of Dhokra metal casting

which operated from 1859 to 1899--so the toy is well over a hundred years old

Geometric Forms Color Study Vintage Watercolor tool from strong brow to proudThis is the smaller of two abstract vintage watercolors I'm listing by the same unknown artist, I'd guess likely done as art school exercises, though I am not entirely certain. They've both got a bit of a Hilma af Klint vibe, this one with a more dense and saturated concentration of elongated triangular forms, transforming in color as they cross the outlined borders of the round forms. Luminous, it keeps making me think of a stained glass window.
