A tender moment between a bobcat and her cub is rendered in scratchboard technique, which provides a striking contrast between the black background and the intricate details of the bobcats and their environment. The cub is shown perched in a tree, gazing down at its mother, while the mother looks up with golden eyes. The coloring and patterns of the animals and trees are similar, but vibrant green leaves break up the pattern.
