After estocada (stored), which leads the bull to death, the bullfighter indicates to the public that the animal is dead
(In fact, he raises his arm) and receives the applause and the grievances of the crowd. In this case, Picasso chose to
illustrate a death that will be considered "imperfect": in fact, the bull is bleeding.
