Picasso created two "states" (or interventions) of this incision. The The state has some parts that are too light
are improved in the second was where, thanks to aquatint shooting (with paint reserves and morsure hand), you are
alleviated. This aquatint is an unusual step of bullfighting, presented for the first time in Spain in
Tancredo 1899 by Lopez, a character referred to by the title of the press: a plaster "white man" is on a
stand motionless, like a statue, to ensnare the bull: it is a bold illusion. The scene of the ritual
Picasso offers an opportunity to highlight the relationship between light and shadow. In the illuminated background
It remains white and the ink to form the figures, the shadow is created instead with a completely covered background
color from which emerge the heads of the spectators in the stands, the silhouette of Don Tancredo and the other bullfighters, with
drapes canvas, causing the bull charges.
