In the foreground, in the middle of a path leading into an overgrown garden, sits an orange cat, gazing at us with a calm expression. The entrance is closed off by a partially open, decorative black iron gate set between two pillars; atop these pillars sit statues of black cats, facing one another. Lush greenery flanks the entrance path—trees and shrubs adorned with bright orange, spherical blossoms. It is an overgrown gateway with a well-trodden path, upon which the orange cat sits.
A tomcat steps out in front of the wrought-iron gate to see who has come to visit. Among the garden’s inhabitants, he is the only one not afraid of strangers. The scene must date from sometime in May, judging by the bloom time of that conveniently orange-flowering shrub. Kerria japonica 'Pleniflora' usually blooms in a yellow-orange hue, so this is likely a different variety.
