George Moore Encounters a Cat

(Image forthcoming)

Inscribed: “There’s a sweet little Cherub who sits up aloft watching over the life of Poor Jack.” One of Moore’s melodies. This is an approximate quotation of Poor Jack, a poem by Charles Dibdin (1745-1814).

George Moore full-length partially obscured behind a door on the right side of the picture, his right hand raised and gesturing towards a cat seated on the ground outside. George is known to have favored cats as pets.
