A black and white drawing of a man on horseback with a bull. The man is dressed in a head covering and a jacket. He holds a long stick in his right hand.

The man and animals are surrounded by a rectangular border. The background of the drawing is gray. The drawing is on a piece of off-white paper. A small handwritten number 5 appears in the top right corner of the paper.
