About this work

This print is packed with strange, twisted figures. On the left, a man stands with his arms raised, like he’s being crucified. Below him, a girl in a dress holds a flower and looks up at a bull’s head with horns. To the right, a bull’s body charges forward, while a man with a mask plays a flute. The scene is dark and jagged, like it was scratched into the plate. The artist used sharp lines to make everything feel rough and uneven. The figures don’t look real—they’re stretched or mixed together, like parts of different creatures. If you like this wild style, try looking up etching to see how it’s made.
