Picador et cheval (Picador and Horse), 1959

Picador et cheval, depicts a man gently gripping onto the saddle of his horse. The man in the linocut wears a large hat and pants with round buttons on the side. The horse is lightly sketched with one eye looking at the viewer. It almost looks as if this man is a bullfighter, which Picasso loved and participated in. He pays respect to the man and the horse by carefully sketching the lines that make them up. The lines show certain details that adds charm to the linocut.
