Oxen

Washerwomen — François Boucher

Oxen is a subject in art. The gallery holds 75 works in this subject in art, including works by Titian, Jean Honoré Fragonard and François Boucher.

An ox (pl.: oxen), also known as a bullock (in British, Australian, and Indian English), is a large bovine, trained and used as a draft animal. Oxen are commonly castrated adult male cattle, because castration inhibits testosterone and aggression, which makes the males docile and safer to work with.
