About this work

This painting shows a single animal with long, twisting horns and a shaggy coat. It stands on a light green background with a small plant nearby. The frame has a golden border with leaf patterns that look worn. The animal’s fur is painted in soft browns and whites, blending smoothly. The horns curve dramatically, almost like branches.
