About this work

This painting shows a white bull with dark horns and legs, standing on a patch of light-colored ground. The bull's body is mostly white, with some darker shading on its legs and face. The background of the painting is a warm, earthy color. The bull is depicted in a loose, expressive style, with visible brushstrokes and texture. The overall effect is one of energy and movement, as if the bull is about to step forward out of the frame. If you like this painting, you might also want to look up the work of Grigorescu, Nicolae.
