Classic Cat and Mouse Illustration - Vintage Ink Drawing #3691351 (License: Personal Use)

This detailed pen-and-ink illustration depicts a plump, long-haired cat mid-pounce, its paw extended toward a startled mouse dashing away. The artist uses stippling for atmospheric background depth and cross-hatching for fur texture and shadow, evoking early 20th-century storybook or editorial illustration styles. The composition conveys tension and motion through dynamic posture and directional lines.
