Jonge loeiende stier 1833 - 1863

"Jonge loeiende stier" is a lithograph by Dutch artist Adolf Carel Nunnink, created between 1833 and 1863. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a single, white and black bull standing in a field. The bull’s stance is confident, its head held high, and its large horns are visible. The image captures the essence of rural life in 19th-century Netherlands, showcasing the importance of livestock in the Dutch economy. The composition is simple, with the bull as the focal point against a background of a distant village and a cloudy sky. This work is a fine example of Nunnink's talent for depicting animal subjects with realism and sensitivity.
