A single cat sleeps curled into a perfect circle, drawn in charcoal and graphite with deep blacks easing into soft silver greys. Fine hatching captures the texture of its fur, while dramatic light from the upper left models every curve against a calm mid-grey ground. Centred and square, the composition feels quiet and intimate, a timeless study in tone and rest for lovers of hand-drawn animal art.
