The Bullfight
c. 1917

A sketch of a rider on horseback, with the horse in mid-gallop. The rider appears to be wearing a hat and is hunched forward, suggesting movement. The image is monochromatic and exhibits detailed line work, capturing the dynamic motion of the horse and rider. The sketch is centered on a beige paper with ample blank space around it.
