Study of a Bull 1830 - 1867

Jacques Raymond Brascassat's "Study of a Bull" (1830-1867) depicts a large, brown and white bull standing in a grassy field. The animal is rendered with a keen attention to detail, capturing the texture of its fur and the muscularity of its body. Brascassat was known for his animal studies, particularly those of bulls and horses, and his paintings often reflect the Romantic era's fascination with nature and its power. The painting's realism and delicate brushstrokes make it an exceptional example of 19th-century animal art.
