Pablo Picasso 
Bullfight Scene from Toros y Toreros, 1961
Sheet size 37 x 26.7 cm
Publisher: Éditions Cercle d'Art, Paris.
 
It is based on a sketch or graphic work by Pablo Picasso, depicting a dramatic bullfighting scene. The figures of the matador on horseback, the bull, and a charging figure are rendered in stark white, calligraphic lines against a solid black field, resembling a scratchboard technique or drawing on a blackboard. The overall composition is primal and energetic. The specific date of the work is visibly integrated into the lower left of the image.
