Bullfights: Dreadful Events in the Front Rows of the Ring at Madrid and Death of the Mayor of Torrejon
A dark-toned etching depicts a chaotic scene. A bull stands on top of a pile of people. The people are wearing 18th or 19th-century clothing, some with hats. The bull faces to the right with its head thrown back. Its mouth and one of its horns are covered in blood. People are piled on top of each other to the right, some on their backs, others on their stomachs or sides. A person on the left appears to be attempting to climb up the pile. A short wall runs horizontally across the bottom of the image. A low wall runs across the background, with a man leaning on it in the distance. The sky is blank and featureless. The entire image is surrounded by a thin border with a thicker border on the outside.
