with a single red orb suspended in the upper right like a lure

while dark botanical leaves reach upward beside them

Unimpressed Frog Meika Gafu by Matsumoto Hoji 1814 - Frog Welcome Mat anime-avatar-style with a single red orbA squat toad rendered in mottled gray tones dominates this composition, its textured skin rendered with careful stippling and line work against a warm cream ground.
