The Wild Bull of Chillingham

About this work

This black-and-white drawing shows two large bulls grazing in a wooded area. One bull bends down to eat grass, while the other stands nearby with its head up. Trees and bushes fill the background, and the ground has patches of grass and shadows. The artist used fine lines to show fur texture and muscle, making the bulls look real. The title below says these are "ancient Caledonian" bulls, now at Chillingham Castle. Check out how this artist used engraving to create such detail.
