A horizontally oriented print in black ink on cream paper depicts a bull goring a fallen horse in an arena. On the left, a dark-patched bull charges right, pinning a horse and rider to the ground. A hat rests in the center foreground. Behind the scene, three men stand watching. A horizontal barrier spans the background with spectators appearing in the upper right. Dense, dark shading provides depth to the arena floor.
