Expressive matador and bull scene rendered with loose, energetic brushwork and bold color contrasts. The composition captures the moment of impact with exaggerated motion and gestural lines, emphasizing drama over realism. The matador figure is elongated and stylized, while the bull is depicted in dark, forceful strokes with bursts of red accentuating movement and tension. Painted on a Deltex canvas panel (marked verso, New York), suggesting mid-20th century studio material. Housed in a black-painted wood frame that complements the intensity of the scene. See less
