A horizontally oriented etching in black ink on light paper depicts a bullfight scene. Centered, a bull tosses a figure upside down. To the left, a man thrusts a pole toward the beast while another crouches with a white cloth. Below them, a figure lies prone on the ground. To the right, a man on a mottled horse gallops away. Dark, densely hatched lines fill the upper background.
