I think you should be able to use Cairo from freedesktop.org, along with
gtkmm. Gtkmm is a C++ wrapper around the object oriented, but C based, GTK+
tool kit, and as such, there may or may not be a cairomm.

In either case, Cairo is probably just the sort of thing you are looking for
and will play nicely with GTK+/gtkmm.
