The painting depicts Laozi riding an ox. The old man with a bald head and white beard wears a long robe with black trim. He sits on a brown ox with a large hump on its back and two curved horns. The ox has a red pouch hanging from its saddle. The background features a beige sky, green and brown ground with rocks and a bamboo tree with green leaves and white flowers on the right. There are several Chinese characters written vertically on the right side and two red stamps, one on the bottom right and one on the bottom left.
