DescriptionTwo fluffy white cats sit on crumpled cloth. The cat on the right holds a portrait miniature of a woman in a metal case in its paws. A ribbon and a cord are attached to the portrait, which was probably meant to be worn as a locket. The cat on the left licks the neck of the other cat with its tongue. A roll of cloth is on a wooden box in the right background.
