This striking example of a bullfight depicts a colorful scene in which the picador and bull are captured frozen in a moment of pure energy. The mastery with which Picasso utilizes every inch of the medium is evident as the hollow center of the bowl becomes the pit of the bullfighting ring, and the bowl the arena as the crowd surrounds the scene on the outer edge looking on in anticipation.
