What is in this image? Describe it as if you were explaining it to someone from the 15th century.

Imagine a fanciful depiction from a woodcut print shown to entertain children. This drawing features a woman with a joyous expression, clad in a simple gown and a tall, conical hat which might be assumed to relate to practices of sorcery or mystical arts, as told in many a folklore. She rides upon a broomstick, a common implement for household cleaning turned into a legendary vehicle of flight in tales of witchcraft. Beside her, a small creature akin to a cat, with exaggerated features such as large eyes and a wide grin, seems to accompany her in her nocturnal journey.The background is adorned with several stars and a crescent moon, underscoring the nocturnal setting of this scene. The style of the picture is distinctly unrefined and playful, possibly intended to capture the whimsy of childhood imagination or the simplicity of folk tales shared around a hearth. This image could be likened to a tale from a troubadour''s song or a page from a moralizing story told by a village elder.
