Detailed Description
A vertical painting depicts a natural scene with a cat and flowers on a light, unadorned background. In the upper section, a black cat with a white chest and bright yellow eyes sits facing forward, its body curled to the right. It rests on a light reddish-brown rock formation with dark ink outlines. To the upper right of the cat, a delicate branch with a few small pink blossoms extends. Below the cat, the reddish-brown rock formations continue, rendered with varying shades and dark brushstrokes, creating a textured appearance. In the lower section, a cluster of white flowers with yellow centers and long, slender blue-green leaves emerges from the bottom edge. These flowers are arranged in two main groups, with several individual blooms visible. More light reddish-brown rocks, some with dark ink details, are scattered around the base of the flowers. The bottom right corner features two red square seals with illegible characters. In the upper right, black ink calligraphy is present, reading vertically: "華人考題 浦芳次".
