A right-handed man fighting from the front from behind ( Bullfighting K)

See How the ancient Spaniards hunted bulls on horseback in the countryside

A bullfighting scene with a lot of movement in which the bullfighter, positioned in the center of the composition, makes a cape pass with his back to the bull, who lunges from the left. The bull is depicted in full movement, as is the bullfighter´s cape and the group of figures in the background, a quadrille with another cape that is also trying to capture the animal´s attention. In the background on the left, we see a bullfighter retrating eith his horse, which appears to be injured as it stretches out its legs. In the background we can see the bullring with a large number od spectators, but depicted, as so often in bullfighting prints, as a mass, without detail. 

The light in the scene is located in the center and comes form the left, leaving the right half of the composition in semi-darkness. Lafuente Ferrari calls this type of light reduced-focus illumination, which he relates to that found in other engravings in the series and its extensions such as The Moors do another fight in the bullring with their dressing gowns, 
A Spanish knight kills a bull after losing his horse, The famous Fernando del Toro, barilarguero, forcing the beast with his garrocha, and The death of Pepe Illo (Bullfighting F)

Lafuente Ferrari also comments that the present print was made known by Beruete, that it is a unique state proof, and that it was engraved in a similar way to the first engravings in the series. He also places it within the group of prints that present lances of the bullfight without historical context,

Gassier, for his part, relates the print to the bullfighter Pepe Illo and to a painting by Goya that depicts a similar cape pass entitled Luck of the cape or Backwards cape pass.
