Detailed Description
A horizontal painting depicts two cats and a bird in a muted, earthy landscape with various plants. The background is a light, warm brown with subtle undulations suggesting ground. On the left, a white cat with a dark brown patch on its left cheek lies on its stomach, looking upwards and slightly to the right. Its eyes are yellow. It is partially obscured by a cluster of green foliage with several bright red, open flowers and some smaller purple flowers. Above and to the far left, a section of a tree trunk with green leaves extends into the frame. In the center, more green leaves and sparse grasses emerge from the ground. On the right side of the painting, a second white cat stands on all fours, facing left. This cat has several brown and black patches on its back and a bushy, striped tail that curves upwards. It holds a small, brown and white bird in its mouth. Its yellow eyes look towards the bird. Behind this cat, more green foliage, including some bamboo-like leaves, rises from the ground.
