A Cornish Rex Portrait With Real Wave
A Cornish Rex looks like no other cat. The breed began in Cornwall, England, and has a short, soft coat of tight waves that lies close to the body, because it has only the fine down layer and none of the coarser guard hairs. Add a slim, long-legged frame with a high arched back, an egg-shaped head, a Roman nose, large ears set high and often curly whiskers, and you can see why the breed gets compared to a greyhound.
Cornish Rex cats come in every color and pattern, and they’re famously energetic, people-loving climbers who seek out warm laps and sunny spots. Our custom Cornish Rex portraits are created from your own photo, so the real ripple of your cat’s coat and their cheeky expression come through.

How to Photograph a Cornish Rex
A Rex’s coat and ears are its signature. Light and angle bring them out:
- Use side light or gentle backlight. Waves in a short coat show best with light skimming across the fur; flat front light hides the ripple.
- Keep the ears fully in frame. Those large, high-set ears are half the look, so leave a margin around them.
- Catch them somewhere warm. Rex cats love heat, so a sunny windowsill or a spot near a warm blanket gets them relaxed and posing.
- Try a side profile. The Roman nose, arched back and long legs read clearly in profile.
- Use a toy for the oval eyes. Hold a feather above the lens for a bright, alert gaze.
- Check the whiskers. Curly or crinkled whiskers are a breed detail; lighter backgrounds show them off.
- Skip the flash. It flattens the wave and washes out eye color.
Best Styles for a Cornish Rex Painting
- Pop — bold color and paint splatter match the busy, high-voltage personality of a Rex, and the big ears and sleek lines look striking in a graphic style. Our first pick.
- Vector Look — a bold cartoon-like look on a white background. Clean shapes suit the Rex’s unusual silhouette and make a fun, modern print.
- Classic Oil — a realistic Dutch-masters oil look with no costume, if you want a calmer portrait that shows the ripples in the coat.
A 16″×24″ framed print ($139) suits a slim, elegant cat well. Previews are free, so try your photo in all three.

Yes. Devon Rex cats have a different look, with a shorter muzzle, wide cheeks and big ears on a pixie-like face, but the photo advice is the same: side light, ears in frame and a warm, relaxed moment. Upload your Devon’s photo and the style guide here applies.
Not at all. A Cornish Rex has a short, fine coat that can look thin, especially on a pale cat in bright light. Soft side light adds shading that shows the fur. A darker, plain background also gives a cleaner outline. The free preview shows you the result before you pay.
