Francisco de Goya

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Cid Campeador spearing another bull by Francisco de Goya. A man on horseback wearing a large feathered hat and ornate clothing holds a long spear and rides a horse to the right. The horse's head is turned to the left. The man uses the spear to poke a bull on the left which is lowering its head and turning to the right, its back to the viewer, with a white patch on its side. Both the man and the horse cast shadows to the right. The image is in black and white with a thin black border around the edge.
