This is a print showing a bull tossing a person in the air. The bull faces the left, its front legs raised, its head lowered, and its tail swishing in the air. There appears to be an object sticking out of the bull's back, next to a small flower. The person is on the left, lifted into the air by the horns of the bull. Their back is towards the ground, with their limbs raised up. The person is depicted with exaggerated features, including a round bald head, wide eyes, and an open mouth. They are wearing a light-colored shirt and trousers with black shoes. Below them on the ground is an umbrella and a hat. The drawing is on a plain brown background.
