This print, naturalistic and monochrome, belongs to a group of linocuts dedicated to picadors, which are actually reproductions of pen drawings. To obtain the images, Picasso used a light-toned, brownish plate printed on black.
Between 1958 and 1961 Picasso made numerous linocuts, a technique that the master found enormously stimulating. These linocuts were first published by the Louise Leiris gallery, in a run of fifty copies. With this project Picasso invented the method of "reduction", consisting of progressively cutting the same plate for each color, thus making it impossible to make subsequent prints with it. In 1962, in collaboration with Picasso and the Louise Leiris Gallery, new plates were made at 42% of the original size, from which a new run of prints was produced. Subsequently, other printings will be made, already with the reduced size.
