This is a painting of a weather vane in the shape of a cow. The silhouette of a cow is depicted in a rustic and weathered style, standing on a horizontal bar. The cow appears to be a hollow, metallic figure with tones suggesting an aged and corroded material. The background is a simple, pale color, allowing the cow figure to stand out as the main subject. This is in the style of American folk art.
