This painting shows a resting cow lying on rocky ground. The cow has a light brown coat and curved horns. Behind it, a twisted tree and a cave opening appear on a hillside. The sky is pale blue with soft clouds. The cow looks calm, almost like it’s napping. The artist used gentle watercolor strokes to show light and shadow.
