Louis William Wain Sold at Auction Prices

Water color painter, Caricaturist, Illustrator

Born in 1860 and educated at the West London School of Art, Louis William Wain owed much of his fame to Peter, his cat that brought comfort to his terminally ill wife. Inspired by Peter, Wain created feline-centric paintings; Louis Wain's artwork of 1886, A Kittens' Christmas Party started a prolific career. Anthropomorphized cats, a favorite theme within Victorian artwork, later became Louis Wain's signature prints.

In 1924, Louis William Wain was institutionalized with schizophrenia and remained in care until his death in 1939. His work from that period includes the Famous Series, eight feline illustrations that evolve into psychedelic swirls of shapes and colors. Along with a variety of pen-and-ink and colored pencil drawings and paintings by Louis Wain, he also created ceramic cats and dogs in a distinctive Cubist style. Collectors of vintage animal prints adore Louis Wain's prints, particularly those in postcard format.

                WAIN, Louis (1860-1939). Signed Ink Drawing of a Cat. [England, n.d.]. Pen and ink drawing of a cat in profile, inscribed by Wain to the left of the drawing: “Yours very Truly Louis Wain”, and written by Wain at the lower left “With Compliments”. On white paper. Approximately 6 x 7 ¾”. One vertical and one horizontal creases, upper edge chipped, some toning, foxing, soiling, a few marginal tears at creases, verso is worn with some paper residue. Good. Wain was a popular artist of children’s books, known exclusively for his drawings and paintings of cats. Perhaps today he is best known for continuing his artwork during his failing mental health, and his artwork reflected his skewed perceptions. Benedict Cumberbatch portrayed him in the 2021 biopic, The Electrical Life of Louis Wain.
