Which size fits your wall

Every size keeps the painting's own proportions. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame, so the visible painting is a little smaller.

How we make your royal cat portrait

The royal style borrows the look of a court portrait from centuries ago: a deep umber background, warm candle-like light, rich velvet, brocade, gold braid and pearls, painted with the soft glazes and fine detail of an old-master portrait. The face stays true to your photo; the costume, the pose and the grandeur are ours to add. Some people call it a cat royal portrait, others a cat portrait painting royal; it is the same piece, made for you.

The best photo for your royal cat portrait

Cats pose well for royalty because they already look unimpressed: a face-on photo with both eyes open is ideal. Side light shows whiskers and markings; if your cat never looks at the camera, send a few photos and we take the face from the best one. If the photo will not work, we will ask you for another one, or refund you.

A royal cat portrait as a gift

A royal cat portrait is the kind of gift that stays on the wall for years. If you are deciding between styles, the same cat is also made in 2D cartoon, 3D animation, illustration, line art, modern, realistic and watercolor; see the other styles below.

How to order your painting

One pet or the whole pack, from the photos already on your phone. The steps are the same either way.

Send your photograph

A clear photo of their face in good light. A photo from your phone is enough.
See it before it is printed

Your proof arrives within 24 hours. Change anything, as many times as you like, at no charge. Nothing goes to print until you say yes.
On your wall

On your wall 6 to 13 business days after you approve your proof — 4 to 6 to make it, 2 to 7 in transit, free anywhere in the US. Framed pieces arrive ready to hang.

Why choose a royal cat portrait

Ermine capes, pearls and lace collars suit a cat's natural dignity. The candlelit palette deepens a black or tabby coat and makes ginger and calico coats glow against the dark velvet. Every royal cat portrait starts from your photo and ends with your approval: you see the proof within 24 hours, ask for any change, and nothing is printed until you say it is right.

Names and dates on your royal cat portrait

A natural present for a cat lover's birthday or Christmas; add a title such as 'Her Majesty Miso' beneath. Printed on fine art paper or canvas, framed pieces arrive ready to hang, so your royal cat portrait goes straight on the wall.

Common questions

Am I buying the original painting?

No — this is a fine art print, and that is what keeps it affordable. Your painting is made digitally from your photos in a royal, old-master style, then printed at high resolution on archival paper or canvas in the size and format you choose.

What if I don't like the proof?

Tell us what to change. We revise until it feels right, and nothing is printed until you approve it.

How long does it take?

The proof arrives within 24 hours. Once you approve, your piece is printed and shipped; framed pieces arrive ready to hang.
