Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a landscape with mountains, water, and trees. The artwork, titled "Farming and Herding Buffalo in Summer," is by Kano Hideyori. The scene shows a body of water in the center and foreground, with several buffalo wading through it. A tree is on the left side. There are people on a hill. Mountains are in the background under a cloudy sky. The painting is rendered in shades of brown, gray, and black ink on a beige background, with some subtle color variations suggesting a summer setting. The overall composition is serene and naturalistic, characteristic of traditional Japanese landscape painting.
