The image shows a lone bison on a grassy plain. The viewpoint is slightly above the bison, with the horizon high in the composition. The sky above the horizon is painted with soft brushstrokes in gray, blue, and faint pink. The bison's fur and the landscape appear in earthy browns and greens, contrasting with the cooler sky tones.
