Water Buffalo and Herdboys

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a serene landscape with two water buffalo and two herd boys. The scene shows a body of water with two water buffalo standing on the shore; one is on the right side of the painting and the other on the left. A small figure of a herd boy is standing next to the buffalo on the right. Another herd boy is lying on the ground beside the buffalo on the left. The background features a tree on the left side and a winding path or shoreline that curves around the body of water. The painting's color palette is predominantly muted shades of brown and gray. A brown border with a patterned design frames the top and bottom of the painting.
