If you mean the one here[0], the back legs don't seem forshortened to me, at all. That's what bison look like! Huge at the front, small at the back.[1]

I think ancient cave painting is truly amazing. I just don't remember ever seeing a painting with foreshortening, i.e. what "perspective" usually means in visual art.

Mostly about how a brain-damaged girl's drawings look like ancient cave art?! Oh, seems it's from a psychiatric journal. And just reading someone's (apparently a psychiatrist's) words about how it's perspective isn't the same as actually seeing it for myself.
Thanks for reminding me about that great site Stone Age Cave Painting, I spent hours on there once before!
