"The Duchess" is an oil painting completed by American artist John Henry Dolph (1835–1903). While the exact date of its creation remains uncertain, it is stylistically consistent with Dolph's works from the late 19th century. Dolph, primarily known for his expertise in painting animals, leverages his trademark realism in this captivating portrait of a domestic cat.

"The Duchess" displays a detailed representation of a calico cat reclining leisurely on a cushion. With soft blending techniques, Dolph's faithful representation of the fur's texture and multicolor pattern and the reflective eyes of the cat reveal his meticulous attention to detail and accuracy.

Dolph's paintings of cats led to his recognition as the "Cat Raphael," and "The Duchess" is a representative example of this substantial part of his oeuvre. However, the painting's history including its commission, exhibitions, and ownership record is not extensively documented. Therefore, while the painting stands as a testament to Dolph's artistic skills and his affinity for feline subjects, opportunities for further research and confirmation of its provenance exist.
