Artist, Cuban, born 1959

The sculpture shows the lower part of a human leg from below the knee to the foot merging with an animal head resembling a bull, featuring prominent horns. The artwork is primarily in shades of white and gray, possibly made of plaster or clay. The leg is upright against a flat surface, reminiscent of a wooden board. The sculpture is presented on a white fabric, highlighting the contrast between the smooth texture of the leg and the rougher animal head.
