Español: Verano: gato sobre una balaustrada

Un gato atigrado con rayas se tiende a lo largo de una balaustrada de madera, con la cabeza levantada y los ojos amarillos fijos al frente, y una pata colgando sobre el barandal. Un follaje verde llena el fondo, y la textura impresa del crayón y las salpicaduras se aprecia en los tonos amarillos y marrones cálidos.
