This print depicts two men impaling a bull in an open gray landscape. The bull is in the center of the two men, facing us, with its head lowered. The two men are stabbing the bull with long weapons that they each hold with both hands. The man on the left appears to have dark skin with a white hat and shirt, while the man on the right has pale skin with a dark hat and shirt. The background shows a natural landscape with minimal detail. The ground the figures stand on appears to be near a body of water, although that is unclear. Low hills surround them, with a patch of trees visible against a cloudy sky.
