A picador rides in on a horse, lance in hand, to enrage a bull we cannot see.
The horse theme was frequently used by Dali throughout his career. The horse is seen as a symbol of beauty and elegance as well as a symbol of strength and rawness. The portfolio from which this piece came is an homage to the animal itself and all the symbols it represents in modern culture, mythology, and the history of humanity and art.
