A horizontal composition of a bull in profile on a background in blue, red, yellow and orange next to a child bullfighter painted red, black and white.
The artist alludes constantly to bulls because as a child he has been involved with taking care of livestock. Also, some of his bulls have wheels instead of hooves like a toy.
