A horizontally oriented print in black ink depicts two figures in turbans and robes on the left facing a bull. One stands upright while the other leans forward, extending a dark cloak toward the animal. The bull, with its head lowered, faces left. Dense hatching and stippling create a dark, atmospheric background and deep shadows stretching across the ground beneath the figures and the beast.
