In this print, a striped cat is lying next to a mandolin or similar stringed instrument on a surface. The cat is resting with its legs extended under the neck of the mandolin. Its head is raised, its ears are up, and its eyes are closed. The body of the mandolin is near the bottom-left corner. A piece of fabric is draped beneath the mandolin, stretching from the bottom-left corner to the bottom-right corner. The background is beige paper and has some small dots and lines suggesting a surface.
