Picador and Torero



"Picador and Torero" by Pablo Picasso

This linocut consists of three colors: brown, black and beige and is 9.5 x 7.75 inches. Its current value is priced at $3,795. The linocut depicts a picador, which is a bull fighter that evades the bull and shows his/her skill by riding and protecting his/her horse. A picador uses a lance to weaken the bull while a torero is a typical bull fighter. I like this image because of the realistic quality of it and I think the contrast between the two roles of these bull fighters was an interesting story to learn.
