Manly courage of the famous Pajuelera in the one in Zaragoza (preparatory drawing).

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

Preparatory drawing of the print Manly courage of the famous Pajuelera in the one in Zaragoza. Like the print, the preparatory study shows how the famous Pajuelera, mounted on her horse, fights with a bull that she is stinging, while a farmhand holds the bull to prevent it from escaping. 

In this case there are few elements different from the later engraving, the most notable being the bullfighter's facial expression, which here is more friendly and less eloquent. The arrangement of her hair is also different, as it is tied back, whereas in the print it is loose. The same is true of the background: here we see the barrier and the bullrings full of spectators - although only suggested by lines outlining bulges - whereas in the engraving Goya reduces the audience to a single group on the right of the composition.

The use of light is similar to that found in the print, with just over the left half of the drawing being illuminated.
