A fascinating vintage one-of-one (1/1) fine-art print featuring a whimsical, highly expressive feline-headed figure seated in traditional robes, accompanied by a Japanese-style incense burner and a folding fan.

The composition is rendered in an expressive sumi-e / East Asian ink-painting style, with bold black and gray brushwork and subtle brown tones. The upper-left corner features a Zen ensō (circle) with calligraphic characters and a red artist’s seal, adding an especially distinctive Japanese/Zen aesthetic.

The print is hand-signed in pencil and numbered 1/1, indicating a unique one-of-one impression. A handwritten dedication is also visible along the lower portion of the image.

This is an unusual and visually striking work that would appeal to collectors of Asian-inspired art, Japanese ink painting, Zen imagery, printmaking, and mid-to-late 20th-century graphic art.
