About this work

This sketch shows three men chasing a bull across an open field. The bull is dark and muscular, kicking up dirt as it runs. Two men on the left hold sticks, while the man on the right lunges forward with a spear. The background is simple—flat land, a lone tree, and a faint horizon line. The artist used quick, rough lines to show movement and tension. The scene looks chaotic, but the figures are drawn with sharp detail. Next, look up etching, drypoint, aquatint to see how artists create textures like this.
