Famous Painting Cat

The Request

This requester took a picture of their cat being overly dramatic, and thought they should be in a renaissance painting. I though it would be fun to place them into an actual painting, and decided that The Finished Book by Nikolai Kornilievich Bodarevsky (1903) would be perfect!

The Results

First I used AI tools to remove the woman from the original painting, and to help reposition the lower half of the cat’s body to look more natural, since the original photo was taken from above and looked odd.

Then, to explain why kitty was so fatigued that she needed a “fainting couch”, I added a basket of thoroughly played-with ribbons on the floor!

Admittedly, I could have done a better job with matching the carpet patterns, but as this was a free request “just for fun”, I did not put that much time into it. I might save this painting to improve upon and use again for these kinds of edits though!
