The image depicts a sepia-toned artwork titled "Water Buffaloes" by Zhang Hong. The artwork features seven water buffaloes drawn in pencil or charcoal. The buffaloes are shown in various poses, with some facing left and others right. Two buffaloes are near the top left, with one mostly out of frame. Three buffaloes are in the middle, spaced evenly apart, with one standing and two bending down. Two buffaloes are on the right, with one mostly behind the other. The background resembles aged paper with darker splotches and lines, and vertical creases down the middle. The image shows the full artwork with a white border around it.
