Bullfights: They Play Another with the Cape in an Enclosure

Francisco de Goya

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white image of a bullfight scene. A dark-colored bull with two horns faces left. A man on the left holds a cape behind the bull, wearing loose pants and a head covering. Behind him, another man faces right, wearing loose pants and a head covering, with a bag slung over his shoulder. On the right, a man kneels with arms raised. The background is dark and hazy with faint lines suggesting a wall or enclosure. The image is set in a rectangular frame with a thick off-white border that has rough edges.
