Work on a black background with white lines. Consists of three well-delineated figurative elements in two distinct planes.
In the foreground, a naked woman is sitting in a pose of domination on the back of a bull. With her face uncovered and raised, she holds her face in her left hand with her elbow resting on the bull's forehead. Her gaze, however, is directed downwards, sideways. The right arm, turned to the right and bent at a right angle, ends with the open hand resting on the left knee. The raised left leg is folded over the folded right leg, which ends with the bare foot on the animal's flank. The woman has loose, wavy hair.
Majestic, corpulent, shaggy, the bull becomes the centrepiece of the piece, the strongest element. Its head is large, its horns twisted and pointed, its gaze squinted and its nostrils wide open, making it an opponent. On its chest it carries a belt with Greek geometric motifs, which culminates in a five-pointed star. The animal second-guesses the action of the man walking naked in the background, with a tall staff in his right hand and a bag in his other hand. The latter has his head down and his gaze fixed on the ground, in a posture of surrender.
