Cat wearing doublet style laying in field of grass and flowers being called to by a small mouse wearing 19th century coat in the foreground. the cats feathered wide brim hat lays on the grass further up the image . the petals of a flower in the foreground before the mouse show in larger size for depth of the image and size difference of the characters.
