Three bovines, two adults and one calf, on a light brown, subtly sloped ground
Detailed Description
A monochrome ink painting depicts three bovines on a light brown surface. The composition features three bovines on a subtly sloped ground, rendered with dark grey ink washes and outlines. The background is largely unadorned, a uniform light brown color, with a faint, lighter diagonal ridge or slope extending from the lower center towards the upper right.In the upper right quadrant, a large bovine is depicted, facing towards the left and slightly downwards. Its body is rendered with soft grey washes, and its form is defined by darker ink outlines. It has visible horns curving upwards and backwards from its head. The animal appears to be in motion, possibly descending the slope.In the lower left quadrant, another large bovine stands, facing towards the right. This animal is also rendered in dark grey ink with outlines, and it has horns similar to the one in the upper right. Directly behind this larger bovine, a much smaller calf is positioned, facing the same direction. The calf is also depicted in dark grey ink, appearing to follow the adult. The ground beneath the animals is a lighter shade of brown, forming a subtle, path-like area.
