Art style: Watercolor Storybook.
Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright on hind legs at the base of the ancient oak — an elderly grey tomcat sage, weary and sarcastic after three centuries of pacing his chain. Thick plush silver-grey fur with darker tabby striping, tufted cheeks and long white whiskers, a bushy tail, and heavy-lidded amber eyes narrowed in dry, done-with-everything irritation. Small round wire spectacles perched on his nose, one ear notched with age. He wears a threadbare scholar's robe of faded ochre and dark green, a loose knitted scarf, and a massive tarnished golden chain looped around one shoulder like a leash he's sick of. He stands on bare padded paws on mossy roots, one paw resting tiredly against the green oak trunk, warm hazy woodland behind him. No text, no watermark.
