This is an illustration of a woman riding a bull through the sea. The woman is elegantly dressed, with flowing drapery, and is seated on the back of the bull as it strides through the waves. In the background, a group of figures and more cattle are gathered on the shore, observing the scene. Dramatic clouds fill the sky, adding movement and drama. The drawing features detailed lines and hatching to depict texture and depth in the waves and fabrics, conveying the dynamic and fantastical nature of the scene.
