In this, and in the previous incision of the series (n. 25), the additional steps are described with respect to
bullfighting illustrated previously. In this case Picasso chooses to illustrate another step of dexterity that
can carry the picador on horseback: the bull is instigated with the spear. The bullfighter to the left instead of waiting
direct the animal's charges by moving the hood (the cloth).
