Figurative oil painting on canvas is divided into three sections with painted line borders on a brown background. The top section contains an animal with a large round nose at bottom center, a cat at top right, and a small figure in a hat climbing upside down on a rope at top left. The bottom left section contains a human figure dressed in a purple outfit with a large white X over the chest. The third section contains a striped cat standing on two fish while holding what appears to be a small cat in an orange costume over its head.
