Artist, Scottish, 1895 - 1980

The image displays a large flower at the center and a black and white cat below it, against a background of abstract foliage. The color palette is monochromatic, using different shades of black and white to create depth and contrast. The flower dominates the upper center with wide petals, while the cat looks up at it from the bottom of the image, partly covered by surrounding leaves. Other abstract leaf shapes fill the space around these focal points.
