A burly, large highlander with broad horns pointing upwards. Abstract portrait of the head and shoulders of a highlander, painted in a style that combines realism with abstract expressionism. Warm, earthy brown tones of the cowhide mingle with neutral tones (beige, rust brown, yellow cream, grey, muted white). Large, blocky, textured brushstrokes create the effect of torn paper or layered paint, partially obscuring the realistic details of the cow's face and horns. The composition combines the softness of the animal's natural fur with rough, fragmented textures, creating a mysterious, collage-like atmosphere.

Neutral and muted tones dominate the canvas: beige, cream, off-white, soft grey, and brown accents.
A mix of figurative realism and abstract-expressionism.
The brushwork is coarse, blocky and layered, creating a collage-like effect.
