frippp: Appears in Chris Beetles' 1986 exhibition catalogue: (Dimensions given with height first)

The Eight 'Kaleidoscope' pictures on loan from the Bethlem Royal Hospital, catalogued by Patricia Allderidge.

General note: These pictures have been shown together in one amount for many years and were presumably arranged like this by Dr Maclay. Although it is known that he found 'some' pictures by Louis Wain in a shop in Camden Hill it is not certain how many of these were included, and nothing is known of their origin or when any of them were painted. The order in which they are seen here is entirely artificial.

101. PERPLEXED CAT
Chalk, pastel and coloured pencil on paper
8 7/8" x 6 7/8"
The background of this picture is similar in style, though less precisely drawn, to the supposed 'wallpaper pattern' in no. 108 (Ginger Cat) (https://catland.distin.org/post/view/4751)
