The visage of a beloved cat named Mr. Bojangles, captured in charcoal by registered Canadian artist Ruth Tye McKenzie in 1976. This original sketch is beautifully framed and matted and would be the perfect addition to any cat-lover’s home. The same artist also created the charcoal portrait of dog “Jude” seen in the last photos - the two of these would make a lovely pair!
