A stoic Bombay cat (solid black) sitting in a sunbeam cast through partially closed Venetian blinds. The image is defined by high-contrast distinct bands of light and dark. The "light" bands reveal the flat, warm grey and charcoal tones of the fur, while the "shadow" bands are voids of absolute, flat black. A single yellow eye is visible in one of the light strips, rendered as a flat circle of amber with a vertical black slit pupil. The dust motes in the air are suspended as solid white dots. There is no texture on the fur; the form of the cat is implied solely by the interruption of the horizontal light stripes over the curvature of the face. The background is a flat, two-tone wall of beige and dark brown, matching the stripe pattern of the lighting.
