Two pencil drawings of a black cat stretching, one head up with its hind legs trailing behind, one head down with its rump raised.

The frame holds two separate drawings, and their maker names both: the top cat is The Black Cat, Stretching, and the lower one, rump up and head to the ground, is Stretching 3. ShouXin draws them with a plain pencil straight into a sketchbook and sells each as a print at the drawing's own size.
