A 1.05 x 0.48 x 0.63 meter bronze figure of a seated bull sits on a 1.37 x 0.62 x 0.76 meter stone base. The bull has his right back leg crossed over his left back leg and his right front knee on his chin. His left front leg is bent back towards his tail. The pose is an adaptation of Auguste Rodin's famous sculpture the Thinker.
The sculpture was created by Josep Granyer and installed on March 15, 1772. A stone plaque on the base is inscribed:
