The scene depicts an interior room in Kazan, Russia, characterized by plain, light-colored walls and a partially visible dark curtain in a recessed area on the left. An adult female, with dark hair and wearing a dark top, is visible from the chest up, positioned behind a multi-panel folding playmat that extends across the lower foreground. She holds a domestic tabby cat upright with both hands, its front paws extended. Her facial expression is a wide-mouthed grimace or exaggerated smile. The playmat features a light-colored background with stylized illustrations of various forest animals and foliage. Five light-colored fabric objects, resembling socks, are present: three are airborne in the upper right and middle right of the frame, one rests on the top edge of the playmat, and another lies on the floor directly in front of the playmat.
