Detailed Description
A vertical ink painting depicts a small person riding a large ox on a light-colored background. The person, positioned slightly left of center, has dark, curly hair and wears a striped garment. They hold a thin stick or whip in their right hand, extended towards the ox. The ox, a prominent light gray figure, is shown with its front legs lifted, suggesting movement or a jump. A thin line, possibly a rope, extends from its nose. Sparse, dark ink marks on the ground beneath the ox and person suggest uneven terrain or vegetation. In the upper right portion of the painting, a dark pine branch with clusters of needles extends downwards and to the left. The overall palette consists of various shades of gray and black ink on a light, aged paper surface.
