Suerte XI: The death of the bull 1845 - 1855

"Suerte XI: The death of the bull" is a black and white print by an anonymous artist dating from between 1845 and 1855. The print depicts a bullfight scene, with a fallen bull in the center foreground, a matador standing over it, and another figure holding a sword in the background. The scene is framed by a decorative border of stylized foliage and a bridge with a clock face showing the number "XI", likely indicating the time of the fight. The print, currently located in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the popularity of bullfighting in 19th-century art and culture.
