This is a painting of two bovine animals depicted with detailed anatomical features and an ornate branch with fruit above them. The painting shows a large gray bovine in the foreground while a smaller, reddish-brown one grazes behind it. Above the animals, a branch with two pomegranates hangs, intertwined with a scroll containing text. The composition is set within an oval, framed by Latin inscriptions both above and below the creatures. The artwork is marked with Roman numeral VII on the right.
