You are looking at a whimsical drawing featuring two fantastical creatures resembling cats. The scene is perhaps meant to be playful and amusing. These creatures are anthropomorphized, which means they are given human-like traits, such as standing upright and wearing human clothing. The larger creature supports the smaller one on its shoulders. Both are adorned with winter attire the smaller creature wears a simple cap and round spectacles, suggesting it might be wise or scholarly, and has its hands raised in excitement. The larger creature wears a long scarf and also has a cap, which might indicate cold weather. They appear to be set against a snowy backdrop, indicated by tiers that might represent snow on the ground and dots in the air that could be falling snowflakes. This portrayal, although surely fanciful, communicates joy and companionship in a winter setting.
