Wounded bull in the arena, European school, 20th century

Description

Bronze. Measures 40 cm x 53 cm x 30 cm. The sculpture depicts a bull collapsed on an oval base, its body leaning to one side and its head raised in a bellowing gesture. Sticks are visible in its back and neck, and a fallen hat lies beside the animal, reinforcing the bullfighting context of the scene. The modeling focuses attention on the animal's muscular tension and the drama of the moment.
