In the Solutrean period we find a great variety of painted and engraved animals, among which we find horses, goats, deer and marine animals like pinguins (
), but we are going to focus on an impressive specimen of black bison.


This figure has been painted with charcoal in a very detailed way, being able to appreciate details of the fur and even the sex. It was made on a curvature of the wall, thus providing dynamism to the figure when observed from a specific point and with the movement of firelight.
For obvious reasons, the site is not visitable, but is being built a facsimile of the cavity for 2022, so soon we will looking closely the rock art of the Cave Cosquer. #GrotteCosquer @grotte_cosquer
