The engraving illustrates the passage of the said "verónica". In the bullfighting it takes place normally during the first two
tercios and is a figure in which the bullfighter places himself in the side profile of the bull and awaits the charge holding the hood
(Drape) leaning forward and open with both hands. The bullfighter ago, so that the hood steps
in front of the bull and that these changes the charge direction. It is a classic step of bullfighting say so
because the bullfighter has the mantle of the bull as "Veronica" he had the sheet with the face of Christ. Picasso
He has been able to make precisely the moment in which the bull is induced to change the charging direction.
