Model tone with cut-like dots, commas and short tapered flicks, density and orientation turning the forms, with open paper between marks and no regular dot screen, continuous contours or long hatching; engraved texture everywhere. An adult short-haired cat stretching on a wooden floor: front paws extended far forward, chest low, back arched into a long curve, tail up, eyes closed in a yawn, a simple wall corner and a skirting board behind.
Light: low raking sun from a window on the left, shown as sparse bright flicks along the arched back and the raised tail and dense dark dots under the belly and in the cast shadow stretching to the right, the paper left open for the brightest highlights; sepia-black ink on warm cream paper, strong tonal range, precise and lively; the long curve of the stretch rises through the tall frame.
Tall 9:16 portrait frame, composed vertically with the main line of the scene rising through the height of the frame. One adult cat of plain domestic appearance, no breed claims; no people, other animals, readable text, tags with writing, numbers or logos.
