About this work

This sketch shows a man with a wild beard riding a bull. The man’s arms are outstretched, and the bull’s legs are drawn in simple, wavy lines. The whole scene is quick and rough, like a quick sketch rather than a finished drawing. The artist used light pencil strokes to keep it loose and sketchy. The date in the corner tells us it’s from 1920. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching next.
