This painting shows two black and white cats in a room. The cat on the left sits, looking to the right. The cat on the right crouches, looking down at a bird on the floor. The cats are on a red cloth, with a wall behind them. The cats seem to be in a quiet moment, with the one on the right possibly hunting the bird. The painting is done in oil paint, which gives it a rich, detailed look. If you like this painting, you might want to look up the artist, Jean-Baptiste Oudry.
