In this, which is the first recording of the series after the dry-point of the title page, a scene is represented
before the corrida: are depicted, in fact, some bulls grazing and a man on horseback (the picador), which
take care of the transfer of the animals in the arena. The landscape is made in an extremely simplified way
with curved sections and determined for the fields and irregular ink spots for vegetation.
