Pepe Illo making the pass of the 'recorte', plate 29 from The Art of Bullfighting Possibly 1815 - 1816

This etching, "Pepe Illo making the pass of the 'recorte,'" from Francisco Goya's *The Art of Bullfighting* depicts a scene from a bullfight in which a bullfighter named Pepe Illo performs a "recorte," a maneuver where the bullfighter uses a cape to steer the bull away from a downed horse. The print, thought to have been made between 1815 and 1816, showcases Goya's mastery of etching in its detailed rendering of the action and the figures, as well as the dynamic composition and dramatic light.
