Tilcayo Cats Original: editorial record

Local assessment: Start-Class. This is a Tilcayo editorial assessment, not a Wikipedia award or an independent audit.

Directly necessary artist account for Big Self-Portrait. Death year is verified in the museum artist record. This is a short account of artistic practice, not a comprehensive biography; career chronology, critical reception and other biographical issues remain outside its current coverage. Source family concentration is acknowledged. No image or living-person exception.

Original prose written from the references in the article, inspected 9 October 2026. Wikipedia's saved painting list supplied research leads, not article prose. Role: supporting artist. No claim that the literature has been exhausted. Citing a museum does not grant permission to reproduce its images or create an active-organisation account.

Preserve this Original at every grade. Grade or length alone must not trigger deletion, blanking, imported replacement, redirection away or regeneration. Improve the existing account with supported material. See TC:Originals preservation policy, TC:Paintings/Coverage record and TC:Originals preservation register.
