Pablo Picasso Toros Y Toreros Bullfight Lithograph Appraisal

Pablo Picasso 'Toros y Toreros' Bullfight Lithograph

This item is a lithographic print featuring a bullfighting scene, stylistically attributed to Pablo Picasso from his 'Toros y Toreros' series produced in the late 1950s. The artwork displays a minimalist black-ink silhouette style on an off-white or cream-toned paper ground. The composition shows a matador facing a bull in a gestural, expressively fluid motion characteristic of Picasso's work with brush and ink. A notable marking on the top right corner of the paper shows the digits '3.4.59.', representing the date April 3, 1959, which correlates with the period he spent documenting the bullfights of Luis Miguel Dominguin. The print is housed in a modern, metallic-finish frame with a brownish-grey double mat. The physical condition appears stable, though there is some minor yellowing or oxidation of the paper consistent with age. There are visible reflections on the glass covering the print, making it difficult to assess fine surface details or texture. The frame shows light scuffing on the edges. This piece exemplifies the Mid-Century Modern abstract style and showcases the high-quality gestural draughtsmanship for which the artist is renowned.
