DescriptionA fluffy white cat stands on its haunches and dips its right paw into a goldfish bowl in which two large goldfish are swimming. The bowl is evidently on a desk or table. Leather bound books, ledgers, account books, and a document box with a key hole are in the background. Flowers, including what appears to be either a lilac or hydrangea blossom, are in the foreground.
