An imposing bull, horns forward and nostrils flaring, holds court on the toilet seat and turns the pages of his newspaper as if it were the most natural thing in the world. The black and white treatment lends the beast real poise and turns this absurd moment into something close to a dignified portrait. All that quiet power is suddenly channelled into the most peaceful of pastimes. His menacing horns and unshakeable calm make for an irresistibly comic pair, as though nothing could interrupt his morning read.

Here is an illustration built to loosen up guests the second they open the door to the WC or bathroom. It speaks to fans of visual humour who like to catch visitors off guard at home and cultivate decor that runs against the grain. This reading bull keeps company with our other staged animals in the Animal Portraits collection, where taking things seriously is never the point.
