"Two Bulls Fighting" is a detailed etching by Dutch Golden Age artist Paulus Potter. Created sometime in the 17th century, this artwork depicts two bulls locked in a fierce confrontation. Potter’s masterful use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a dynamic, lifelike depiction of the animals' musculature and the tension of the scene. The etching is housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, a testament to the enduring legacy of Potter's talent for portraying animal subjects with both realism and expressiveness.
