can’t find year of painting
1891, the same year he painted his seminal work, "My Wife's Lovers", which may contribute to the overshadowing of this less "valuable" piece. Personally, I prefer the former. 😜
Kahler continued to paint cats until he perished at just age 51 in the San Francisco earthquake on April 18th, 1906.
