This black and white etching, titled "The famous Martincho (probably Antonio Ebassum) places the banderillas, playing the bull with the movement of his body" is a remarkable piece from Francisco Jose de Goya y Lucientes' renowned series, The Art of Bullfighting. Published in 1816, this print showcases Goya's exceptional talent for capturing the intensity and drama of this traditional Spanish spectacle.
