Japanese Drawing by an unknown artist. The image shows a group of bulls and cows standing. There are 8 bulls and cows in total, with 7 facing away from the viewer and one on the left facing right. They are standing on a gray ground against a beige background. The bulls and cows are various shades of gray, brown, and white. Some have dark tips on the end of their tails. Some have Japanese writing next to them. The image appears to be on aged paper and has several creases running through it. The creases run vertically through the image.
