This is a folk art painting depicting a black cat standing upright in a landscape with three birds. The cat is slender and elongated, with one paw raised as if gesturing. It's positioned in the center of the composition. The birds are stylized and appear to be wading in shallow water. The background features a range of purple mountains, and the foreground is filled with green and brown grasses and patches of water with small red plants. The style is naive and primitive, with flat colors and simple shapes. The overall impression is whimsical and charming, reminiscent of early American folk art or a similar tradition.
