Meditació (Meditation) - Barcelona, Spain - Figurative Public Sculpture on Waymarking.com

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.
