About the piece

Created in 1883 by the Belgian animalier painter Alfred Verwee, this striking composition centers on the physical struggle between a black and a white bull. Set against a low horizon and the brooding, atmospheric skies of the Low Countries, the work demonstrates masterful control over texture and naturalistic light.
