Description: There is an ox looking at a frog in a field of grass. The ox’s tail is swinging. The ox has horns on its head and spots on its body. There is a barn in the distance to the left of the picture. Some of the grass appears to be longer in some areas. The landscape appears to be mostly flat, with the exception of a few small mounds.
