A surreal collage artwork depicting a figure with the head of a blue bull smoking a cigarette and a body composed of various objects and textures. The torso and arms are made up of black and white patterns with embedded items like a rubber duck and roses, while the legs are covered in yellow fur with scattered pink flowers. The figure holds a staff wrapped in newspaper, and the entire composition is set against a plain white background.
