This is a painting of a figure controlling a bull. The painting depicts a simplistic and stylized image of a bull being led by a figure using a long, curved tool or whip. The bull is centered in the composition and is rendered in flat, solid colors with minimal detail, emphasizing its basic shape with prominent, curved horns. The accompanying figure is dressed in vibrant clothing and is also simplified in form, standing to the right of the bull. The background is decorated with small, scattered shapes and bordered by a bold, geometric pattern which frames the entire scene.
