Artist, Spanish, 1746 - 1828

This print appears to show a person sitting atop the head of a bull with a guitar across their chest. The person wears a cloak and a tricorn hat, and their body is contorted, with their legs facing the left and their torso and head turned towards us. Their eyes seem to be closed, with their mouth in a frown. The bull below them stands with its head facing the left, its tail in the air. The background is plain beige paper, and the ground is shadowed with thin, cross-hatching lines.
