About this work

This print shows a green teapot with a long spout and handle, sitting on a flat surface. The pot has a small cat curled up inside, peeking out with one paw raised. A red cord with a tassel hangs from the teapot’s spout, and a small golden lid sits on top. The background is mostly blank paper, with black ink text running along the left side. The artist used bold outlines and simple colors to make the scene pop. The cat’s relaxed pose inside the pot adds a playful touch.
