Vintage - Cupid Kitty,

Vintage artwork by Arthur Thiele features a white cat dressed up in boots, a red jacket, black tie and black hat. He holds a bow and arrow and has a quiver of arrows on his side. His gossamer wings indicate that he must be some sort of Cupid Kitty. The German artist, Carl Robert Arthur Thiele (1860-1936) commonly went by the name Arthur Thiele. He was an illustrator of books, sheet music and postcards. He was famous for his comical anthropomorphic animals dressed in clothing and depicted in human-like scenes. Dachshunds were a favorite subject of his. In addition to animals, other subjects he illustrated were sports postcards, vegetables brought to life, snowmen, bathing beauties, and WW1 era propaganda postcards. The Internet is full of references confusing Carl Robert Arthur Thiele with another German painter of his time named Julius Arthur Thiele who painted landscapes. They are not the same artist.
