More about this artwork
The painting depicts the heads of two animals against a plain, neutral background. On the left is a mule adorned with a bridle that is decorated with bright red and gold elements, including a small pendant that resembles a cluster of red berries and gold leaves hanging from the harness around its face. The mule has alert, calm eyes and its ears are slightly tilted forward, adding to its attentive expression.Next to the mule is the head of a buffalo or ox, characterized by its large, curved horns and a robust head. The horns are lightly colored at the tips, contrasting with the darker color of the head. The buffalo or ox appears serene, with a soft gaze and a slightly open mouth, suggesting a moment of rest or gentle observation. The painter uses quick, expressive brush strokes to capture the essence and texture of each animal, highlighting the varying textures of their coats and the gleam of light on their features.
