This painting shows a herd of buffalo in a nighttime landscape. The buffalo are in the foreground, with some facing forward and others looking to the side. In the background, there are mountains and a cloudy sky with the moon shining through. The buffalo are painted in dark colors, with some lighter shades on their fur. The mountains and sky are also dark, with some lighter areas where the moon is shining. The overall effect is one of a peaceful and serene scene. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality.
