- Abstract
-
An escaped bull has pinned a well dressed man against a print shop window in which numerous caricature prints are on display; the bull has its head low against the man's backside and is about to lift him up with its horn. Another man cowers in fear on the near side of the window; a third man on the far side of the window runs away. Three additional figures farther down the street shake sticks at the bull; in the lower right, a dog takes an aggressive stance and bears its teeth
