About this work

This sketch shows a dark, lumpy bull lying down in a rough, sandy area. Behind it, a person stands holding a long stick, and there’s a pot or container nearby. The colors are mostly browns, blacks, and faded grays, with some red and white splashes. The handwriting on the paper says "Bivoli" and "Drinkle," but it’s unclear what that means. The painting looks quick and loose, like it was done fast. If you like this style, check out impasto next.
