About the piece

Created around 1785 by Balthasar-Paul Ommeganck, this Flemish oil painting is a masterful example of late 18th-century animal portraiture. The work focuses on the impressive physique of the central bull, rendered with meticulous detail and set against a soft, luminous landscape that evokes the steady rhythm of rural life.
