This is a drawing of two feline figures. One is a full-figure depiction of a sitting wild cat with a sleek, spotted coat, long legs, and a poised demeanor. The other is a partial drawing of the animal's head. The drawing uses a combination of light ink washes and precise line work to highlight the feline's distinctive features. The artist's signature and date of completion, October 19, 1928, are noted on the lower right corner of the paper.
