This is a drawing of a bull lying down with its legs tucked beneath its body and its head resting toward its side. The detailed depiction shows the texture of the bull's fur and musculature with fine lines. The bull takes up most of the composition against a plain background. Shading and cross-hatching techniques are used to add depth and dimension. The paper appears old and slightly worn.
