A Bull on a Ledge c. 1770s

"A Bull on a Ledge" is a pen and wash drawing on paper, created by the Italian artist Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo in the 1770s. The artwork depicts a detailed study of a bull in profile, standing on a ledge, with its horns and hindquarters visible. The artist utilizes careful shading and hatching to capture the form and texture of the animal. The drawing's small dimensions and focus on anatomical detail suggest that it might be a study for a larger composition or a work intended for private collection.
