Prompt

An antique tipped in book plate: a black cat sitting on a stack of leather bound books beside an apple, painted as a soft vignette floating in the middle of a cream page with no border and edges fading gently into the paper. Careful slightly stiff painting, yellowed muted colour, fine crackle in the paint, light brown foxing spots across the page and a small plate number in the lower corner. Photographed flat.
