A horizontally oriented etching on paper depicts a landscape featuring a cat and four foxes. On the lower left, a cat stands with its tail raised, facing three foxes clustered in the center. A fourth fox head peeks from a rocky overhang on the right, above a coiled basket in the lower corner. Cross-hatching defines the jagged rocks, background trees, and distant hills beneath a light, streaked sky.
