Illustration n. XVII of the text: José Delgado (alias Pepe Illo), La Tauromaquia or Arte de torear, Gustavo Gili
- Ediciones La Cometa, Barcelona 1959

After the second tercio, the bull is dealt several times with the muleta (the tercio de muleta) which is the
piece of red flannel, placed on a wooden pole, used in the last part of the bullfight to instigate the bull and
replaces the hood, the cloth used up to this stage. Muleta is contested with one hand,
while in the bullfighter he holds the spear that will serve him later. The press describes this confrontation between bullfighter and
bull, face to face, without the aid of the horse. For killing the muleta is held with the left hand and
It must lead the bull to lower his head and uncovering the neck. Picasso puts out how this passage is
very engaging for the audience, which seems cheering in the background.
