At the Buffalo Dance, Tesnque
1917

Sketch of a bustling bullfighting scene with multiple figures, including matadors and bulls, depicted in loose, expressive lines on a tan paper. The dynamic composition captures the movement and chaos of the event, with some figures and animals more defined than others, creating a sense of depth and activity. The artwork is dated 1917 and signed in the lower right corner.
