A single large bison stands calmly in full side profile, facing right and set left of center. Its dark silhouette is broken only by one pale ivory horn, and fine scratchy distressing across the body reveals warmer tones beneath the surface.

The background is an abstract, weathered field of antique gold and dove taupe with no horizon or landscape detail, leaving generous open space across the right and top. Heavy scumbled and scraped paint, knife and brush marks, and worked metallic gold over a plaster-like ground give the piece a tactile, aged patina and a quietly majestic feel.
