Bullfight
1928

A black and white illustration depicting a dramatic scene where a matador on horseback is fighting a bull. The horse is rearing up on its hind legs, and the matador, dressed in traditional attire, is wielding a long spear. The bull is charging forward, its head lowered aggressively towards the horse. The artwork is detailed, capturing the intense movement and emotion of the confrontation. The image is centered on a larger piece of paper with some artist's markings on the bottom.
