"Suerte I: Bull entering the bullring after a law officer on horseback; two toreros standing to right" is a wood-engraving print depicting a bullfight scene. Created by an anonymous artist in the mid-19th century, it showcases the drama and spectacle of this traditional Spanish event. The print shows the bull entering the ring pursued by a horseman, while two toreros stand ready to face the beast. The scene is framed by an elaborate border of stylized flowers and foliage, adding a decorative element to the work. This wood-engraving, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, is a fascinating glimpse into the cultural history of bullfighting in Spain.
