The painting depicts a dog attacking a cat, with the dog's front paws on the cat's body and its mouth open. The cat is lying on its back, with its paws in the air. In the background, there are various objects, including a basket, a bird, and some feathers. The painting is done in oil paint, with a dark color palette that gives it a dramatic tone. The lighting is focused on the dog and cat, with the background fading into darkness. This painting is reminiscent of the work of Jan Vonck, an artist known for his use of chiaroscuro.
