This image depicts a mythological creature drawn in an etching or engraving style. The creature has the head and chest of a bull, complete with horns and attentive ears, and transitions into the body of a sea creature or serpent from behind the shoulders. The transition includes wings indicative of a classical chimera to a swirling, elongated, fish-like tail that ends in stylized, flame-like fins. It is resting on what appears to be a small mound, suggesting land, but given its tail is in a flowing motion, the environment may imply a connection to water. The linework is detailed, emphasizing the texture of the fur on the head and the chest, and the scales or contour of the serpentine behind. The overall style and composition of the image suggest it could be from a historical or ancient art piece, featuring elements commonly found in mythology or heraldry.
