The scene is located in Hessequa Nu, South Africa. It depicts two African buffaloes (Cape buffaloes) resting on dry, grassy terrain under natural daylight. The primary subject is a large, dark-brown adult buffalo lying on its left side, exhibiting prominent upward-curving horns and a massive boss across its forehead; its eyes appear closed. Adjacent to and slightly in front of the adult, a smaller, lighter-brown buffalo calf is also lying on its left side, with small budding horns and a yellow ear tag visible in its right ear; its eyes are closed. Both animals are positioned facing left. The immediate foreground consists of sparse green and dry brown grass, interspersed with exposed reddish-brown soil and small green shrubbery. The midground and background reveal a gently sloping landscape, characterized by numerous small green bushes, dry vegetation, and several reddish-brown dirt tracks winding through the natural environment. Shadows are cast to the left and rear of the buffaloes, indicating a light source from the right.
