Staande stier, naar links 1855 - 1930

"Staande stier, naar links" (Standing bull, facing left) is a detailed pencil drawing by Dutch artist Dirk Arnoldus Tavenraat, created between 1855 and 1930. The artwork depicts a large bull standing beside a fence, its muscular form and textured hide rendered with meticulous detail. The bull's imposing presence and the artist's careful observation of its anatomy make this a fine example of animal portraiture within the realm of realism. The drawing is currently part of the collection at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
