Staande stier, naar links 1821 - 1889

"Staande stier, naar links" is a graphite drawing on paper by Guillaume Anne van der Brugghen, a Dutch artist known for his animal studies. Created between 1821 and 1889, the work depicts a bull standing in profile, its powerful form rendered with meticulous detail and a sense of realism. The artist's skill in capturing the animal's anatomy and musculature is evident in the subtle shading and the accurate portrayal of the bull's stance. The drawing is a fine example of van der Brugghen's talent for depicting animal subjects, and it offers a glimpse into his artistic process.
