Rigby

Rigby is an Ana Inciardi mini print depicting a tuxedo cat rendered in deep black ink against a pale gray background. The cat sits in a composed, upright posture facing slightly toward the viewer, with white markings visible at the chest, chin, and paws. The linework captures the texture of the fur with confident, deliberate strokes, and the cat's expression reads as alert and self-possessed.

White whiskers extend outward in fine lines, adding delicacy to an otherwise bold composition. The artist's signature appears at the lower right, with the name "Rigby" written in handwriting at the lower left, suggesting this is a portrait of a specific, named cat. Tuxedo cats take their name from the black-and-white coloring that resembles formal dress.

They are not a distinct breed but a coat pattern that appears across many domestic cat breeds. Animal subjects appear throughout Inciardi's catalog, and Rigby fits naturally among her other animal prints as a subject-specific portrait rather than a generalized creature study. Collectors drawn to her animal work tend to appreciate the directness of her compositions and the way she uses high-contrast printmaking to give individual subjects a strong graphic presence.

The intimacy of naming the cat positions this piece differently from her more broadly appealing animal subjects, making it attractive both to cat enthusiasts and to collectors who are drawn to the idea of a portrait within a print format. Rigby pairs naturally with her other animal prints as part of a focused grouping of creature portraits in her wider body of work.
