Le Taureau (The Bull) 1941 - 1942

"Le Taureau" (The Bull) is a 1941-1942 ink drawing by Pablo Picasso, depicting a bull in a simplified and gestural style characteristic of Picasso's later work. The animal's form is reduced to a series of bold lines and curves, with a focus on capturing its essence and energy rather than realistic detail. The bull stands in a field of simplified grasses, creating a sense of movement and dynamism in the composition. This drawing is a prime example of Picasso's exploration of form and line in his mature years.
