DescriptionTwo fluffy white cats sit on a table covered with a tablecloth. The cat on the left 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 right licks the neck of the other cat with its tongue. A roll of cloth is on a wooden box in the left background.
