This is 'FEATHERS', an early 20th century bicolor Persian (described as "tortoiseshell and white smoke tabby") photographed with an antique Chinese headrest.
The photo was taken by Harriet V. Furness, who also did the charcoal drawing of 'Don Giovanni' on display at the Feline Historical Museum in Alliance, Ohio.
Feathers was owned by Carl van Vechten, and the photo is from his book The Tiger in the House, 1936 (3rd printing).
