"Bullbaiting in a Venetian Piazza" is a pen and brown ink drawing by Italian artist Francesco Guardi, created between 1712 and 1793. The drawing depicts a lively scene of a popular Venetian entertainment—bullbaiting, in which a bull is tormented by dogs and men. Guardi's loose, sketchy style captures the energy and chaos of the event, with multiple figures and animals scattered across the composition. This artwork is a valuable insight into Venetian life during the 18th century.
