the suite is commonly refered to as the “los toros suite,” and depicts views of a bullfight from the sidelines as though picasso had quickly sketched them while sitting in the stands. Bullfighting was an important part of picasso’s heritage and there are a number of picasso bullfighting series. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
designer records,
or other literature sources and take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising
