This is a black and white woodcut print depicting a surreal landscape filled with cats. The composition is dominated by a large, undulating hill or wave-like form that takes up most of the frame. The surface of this hill is covered in a dense pattern of small, rounded shapes, resembling rocks or pebbles. A winding path snakes its way up and around the hill. Numerous cats of various sizes and poses are scattered across the landscape. They are depicted in a whimsical, almost cartoonish style, with exaggerated features and dynamic poses. Some cats are walking, running, or leaping along the path, while others are perched on the hill or scattered in the foreground. In the center of the composition, a woman stands on the hill, surrounded by a swirling mass of cats. She is dressed in a long, flowing gown and wears a tall, pointed hat. Her arms are outstretched, and she appears to be conducting or leading the cats. Above the hill, a few stylized clouds are visible, adding to the dreamlike quality of the scene. The overall style of the print is reminiscent of woodcut illustrations, with bold lines and a strong contrast between black and white. The artist's signature, 'Wanda Gag', is visible in the lower left corner.
