Los colores saturados se notan de inmediato, es bastante impresionante ya que Picasso usó solo cuatro colores. Aún más especial es la escena taurina. Picasso era excepcionalmente aficionado a las corridas de toros y, a menudo, representa al toro y al matador dentro de su extensa obra.
Pablo Picasso’s La Petite Corrida (The Little Bullfight), 1957, is elevated in detail and color. Often described as the master of line, Picasso explores the potential of drawing in this work by playing with expressive mark-making in varying depths, qualities, and colors. The artist effortlessly conveys the excitement of the Bullfight scene, drawn with an inexactitude and confidence that communicates the festive and precarious nature of the sporting event. Captured as an aerial spectacle, the composition beckons the viewer to feel as a present attendant, witnessing first-hand the scene before them. The figures emerge in array of vivid colors with the picador in brown mounted upon his horse, and his companion, the torero, proudly presenting the muleta in bright red. The saturated colors are immediately noticeable, quite impressive as Picasso used only four colors. Even more special is the bullfighting scene. Picasso was exceptionally fond of bullfights and often depicts the bull and the matador within his extensive work.

La Petite Corrida de Pablo Picasso (The Little Bullfight), 1957, se eleva en detalle y color. A menudo descrito como el maestro de la línea, Picasso explora el potencial del dibujo en este trabajo jugando con marcas expresivas en diferentes profundidades, calidades y colores. El artista transmite sin esfuerzo la emoción de la escena de la corrida de toros, dibujada con una inexactitud y confianza que comunica la naturaleza festiva y precaria del evento deportivo. Capturada como un espectáculo aéreo, la composición invita al espectador a sentirse como un asistente presente, presenciando de primera mano la escena que se encuentra ante ellos. Las figuras emergen en una variedad de colores vivos con el picador en marrón montado sobre su caballo, y su compañero, el torero, presentando orgullosamente la muleta en rojo brillante.
