The description you provided aligns most closely with the **San Rock paintings at Shelter Cave, Southern Africa**. These paintings are characterized by the use of mineral pigments, depict various animals often associated with hunting, and typically do not incorporate shading to create a sense of depth or roundness.
- **Aboriginal cave painting of kangaroo hunt**: While this might also fit the description, the specific references and methods, as well as cultural context, indicate the San Rock painters had a broader tendency towards the features mentioned.
- **Chinese horse cave painting at Lascaux, France**: This is a misnomer as Lascaux is primarily known for its Paleolithic cave paintings from France, depicting animals in a slightly different context. However, the reference may confuse Lascaux content and geographical specificity, as it is not in China.
Thus, focusing on the specifics provided, the San Rock paintings are the best match.
