The picture shows a close-up of the side of a cow, seen from the belly to the thighs and flanks.
The cow has a cream-coloured coat with large, irregular black spots. The coat is short and appears slightly rough. The hind legs can be seen on the left in the image, which are cream-coloured and lighter in hue on the underside. The muscles in the hind legs are well visible and muscular. Something hangs between the hind legs. It is cream-coloured and smooth in texture. Further to the right, the cow's flank can be seen with a distinct rib structure and muscular belly.
The cow stands on a ground of green grass and dark brown earth. The grass is somewhat trampled and bare here and there. The lighting comes from above and from the right, creating soft shadows and emphasising the details of the coat and muscles. The photo has a warm, slightly greyish colour tone. The composition focuses on the cow's body, blurring the rest of the surroundings and putting the focus entirely on the animal.
