A vertically oriented print in dark aquatint depicts the solid black silhouette of a cat facing away from us. The cat sits on a textured dark ledge, looking through a bright window toward bare, sketchy trees. To the left, a long curtain hangs in deep shadow, while stacked rectangular shapes sit to the right. Fine, vertical streaks mark the window, contrasting with the dense, grainy black ink of the foreground.
