English term or phrase: Art (Cheetah in grass) (???)
In a medical translation (advertising for a drug), in the margin appears a series of words, preceding the sentence to translate. Obviously they are specifications for the printing stage of this paper. Being overall a physician, I'm not used to this terminology. Can you help me ? Thanks in advance

So, as nobody told me if I could share the points between both answerers (see my note), I've chosen F. Guéreau's answer, as s/he explained what "art" meant in this context. As for Cheetah, the client explained to me that the picture showed "un guépard". He said he was sorry, he didn't realise that the pictures/graphs had not been sent to me and understood my hesitations about this damned animal (at least, it made him laugh). Many thanks to both of you.
