Boy on Ox

The painting depicts a young boy riding on the back of an ox. The boy has short black hair and wears a long-sleeved garment. He holds a stick or whip in his right hand, raised above his head. The ox is black with a white muzzle and a rope around its snout. The ox is running to the left. The background of the painting is a light brown color. There are some Japanese characters in the top-right corner of the painting, written in black and red ink. The characters are possibly the artist's signature. The painting is surrounded by a white border.
