Description

Watercolor and ink illustration by Kathleen Elgin depicting a whimsical scene with a white cat, appearing mid-fall, gripping a large, ornate chandelier with its paws. The chandelier, drawn in a classic style with golden hues and white candles tipped with yellow flames, hangs prominently from the top of the illustration, its intricate curves emphasizing the drama of the situation. Below the cat, a silhouette of a person observes the unfolding spectacle, positioned beside the pointed lid of a grand piano. The composition captures a humorous and chaotic moment, with the contrast between the cat's dynamic movement and the observer’s calm presence adding depth to the scene.
