An old man plays his magic flute by the lake at sunset, and all the animals of the forest are drawn to its enchanting tune. Meanwhile a sly cat lurks in the corner, eyeing the swirl of birds, fish, lizards & insects, with feline mischief in its heart. In the background the sun sets over the lake.

Signed archival giclée print reproduction of an original acrylic painting, created as an illustration for The Old Man and the Cat by Anthony Holcroft (Penguin NZ 2012). The original painting was executed in acrylics over a collaged background of texts, maps, music & illustrations (all scanned from antique sources) on 14"x 18" canvas.

This giclée print is 600 dpi on heavy archival paper, using Epson UltraChrome inks for longevity & accurate color.
The untrimmed paper size is 11' x 17"", with the live image ~10" x 16".
