Prize Bull

Amerikanische Malerei 1870–1877, 1876

This painting depicts a large bull standing in a grassy plain. The bull is seen from the side, facing the right. Its head is a rich brown color, while its body and legs are swirled with patches of white and brown. Its head is small compared to its large body, and it has two thin, white horns facing forward. The background shows a low horizon with a few small green trees and shrubs, set against a pastel pink and purple sky. In the lower right corner is a small pool of green water, the edge surrounded by small tufts of grass.
