This is a drawing of a group of individuals with horses and bulls in an oval arena setting. The scene shows several figures interacting closely with a large bull in the middle of the arena. Around the central action, there are additional figures seated or standing, observing the event. The drawing's lines convey movement and tension. The setting includes an enclosing fence that defines the arena space, and it’s filled with dynamic figures either mounted on horses or interacting with the bull. The composition is detailed with careful attention to the expressions and postures of the figures, illustrating the drama of the scene.
