Waaaay easier to picture it with the thumbnail. You can see the hedgehog at the bottom right, in front of the tree

It's lovely. Also, if I'm not mistaken, there is some playing with figure and ground--it is that to which the title refers. It's an amazing accomplishment in such a small space! In both views, it seems that figure and ground are divided by the area of white shaped like this: "<." If you look at the thumbnail from left to right, you see the spruce tree sheltering a hedgehog. If you look from right to left, you see a hedgehog nestled in the needles of the tree.
Clever - and much easier to see in the thumbnail.
replyOK, having read the explanation in the comments I can make it out in the thumbnail. And IMHO a picture that can't be seen without that is not a 4-star puzzle.

It's actually a really great picture. Hedgehog is smooth, and the tree is bumpy.
