"De bulleboer" (The Bull Farmer), a 1931 lithograph by Dutch artist Richard Nicolaüs Roland Holst, portrays a man’s face in profile. The subject’s features, rendered with dramatic shading, create a sense of intensity and determination. Holst, known for his expressive style, uses a strong black and white contrast to capture the essence of his subject.

The lithograph, held at the Rijksmuseum, stands as a testament to Holst's artistic skill and social commentary.
