Feeding Cat

By Chang Kim Ngoh, ART:DIS (Singapore) Ltd

This painting by Kim Ngoh depicts a Nyonya in a quiet, intimate moment as she feeds a cat in what appears to be the backyard of her home. The scene reflects the simplicity of daily life while gently highlighting elements of Peranakan culture. Through its understated composition, the work captures themes of tenderness, tradition, and the enduring rhythms of everyday living in a Peranakan home.
