"Voortrekker vurend op een stier" is a black and white drawing by Willem (I) Steelink that depicts a scene from the Great Trek, a period in South African history when Dutch-speaking settlers left the Cape Colony for the interior. The drawing features a group of Voortrekker men, one of whom is aiming a rifle at a bull, standing in front of a group of huts. The artwork, created between 1836 and 1913, likely represents the conflict between the Voortrekkers and indigenous tribes during their journey.
