Bullfighting scene. Signed. Spanish School. 19th century. - Oil on canvas. Dimensions: 117 x 63 cm. Bullfighting scene seen from inside a box, where several women dressed in mantillas, carrying combs, and fans watch the fight with attentive and flirtatious gestures. In the background, the bullring filled with spectators can be seen, painted with loose patches that evoke the bustle and color of the event. The composition emphasizes the contrast between the somber interior of the box and the luminosity of the arena. The vibrant brushstrokes and costumbrista setting place this work within 19th-century Spanish narrative painting. Signed, the painting stands out for its detail in the attire, its festive atmosphere, and its social focus, portraying not only the bullfighting spectacle but also the theatricality of the surrounding audience.
