Slaughtered Ox is a 1639 oil by Isaac van Ostade, a Dutch Golden Age work, depicting Oxen, held at Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest.
This painting shows a slaughtered ox hanging from the ceiling. The ox is skinned, and its insides are visible. The room is dimly lit, with a faint light coming from the left side. There are some objects in the background, but they are not clearly visible. The painting has a lot of texture, with thick brushstrokes and visible paint. The colors are muted, with shades of brown and gray dominating the scene. The overall mood is somber and quiet. If you're interested in learning more about this style of painting, you might want to look up the technique of chiaroscuro.
