Italian term

svelto

Italian to English Art/Literary Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
"vicino alla stufa aveva dipinto un gatto svelto, bianco, e dall'altra parte il signore e la signora A..."

l'idea è quella di un gatto snello, agile, e probabilmente in movimento (forse anche un po' furbastro...?), ma non mi viene in mente niente che possa suggerire tutto questo in una sola parola...
