This sketch shows two oxen drawn in rough, uneven lines on a faded, rough surface. The animals look simple but strong, with big horns and simple shapes for bodies. The background is just a plain, worn color—no details, just a few faint marks. The artist used quick, loose strokes, almost like scribbles, to show the animals. The paint looks thin in spots, letting the surface peek through. Check out the technique: impasto next to see how thick paint can create texture.
