Bull

Antonio Susini

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a bull in a dynamic stance, with one leg raised and its tail curling upwards. The bull has well-defined muscular features, and its head is turned slightly to the side, accentuating its strong neck and intricate details on the face, including the horns and textured fur. The sculpture is made from a dark brown material, possibly bronze. The overall appearance of the sculpture is lifelike, with attention to anatomical details such as the rippling skin on the neck and the carefully modeled hooves, capturing the power and grace of the bull realistically.
