The palette is dominated by warm sepia tones, accompanied by shades of brown, beige, and cream that lend the piece an aged, parchment-like character. The cow's coat is depicted with precise cross-hatching and accented with distinctive black patches against creamy white, emphasizing musculature and form. The background includes rustic elements: a wooden milking stool, metal bucket, straw scattered on a stone floor, and wooden paneling—all rendered in subdued, earthy hues.
