Shaun Tan, illustration for “The Grimms’ Marchen” by Philip Pullman: “The Cat and the Mouse in the House.”
[ID: A picture of a sculpture of a stylized cat. The cat is a dark grey color, and looks to be made of carved stone. It’s sitting with its paws in out in front and tail curled at its side, with a large collar around its neck and prominent, pointed ears at the top of its head. There’s an emphasis on soft edges throughout the sculpture - even the ears appear soft, despite being the most pointed part of the cat. The cat’s eyes are closed and its smile is wide, round, and bowl-like. Inside the cat’s mouth is a small, bright white mouse with perky round ears and little black eyes. /End ID]
