Description:
The title, "Banderillero a Caballo" means "A Bullfighter on a Horse". A Banderillero is a specific kind of bullfighter that uses sticks on the bull to stop it. The image is black and white without borders and we see a man in a matador uniform leaning off of a running horse to stab the two sticks into the neck of the bull that is to his left.
