Artistic Description
Painting from the Contemporary Spanish School, signed "Francisco", created in the 1990s and dedicated to the depiction of the fighting bull in its natural environment, a theme closely linked to Spanish pictorial and costumbrista tradition.
The composition shows a herd of bulls in open fields, distributed across different planes and accompanied by a horseman in the background. The arrangement of the animals conveys movement and vitality, while the equestrian figure reinforces the rural and cattle-raising character of the scene.
The work is executed with a loose, energetic, and expressive brushstroke, especially visible in the terrain and in the anatomy of the animals. The palette combines luminous yellows and greens with blacks, grays, whites, and earthy tones, creating a strong chromatic contrast. The sky, resolved with whites and soft blues, adds depth and brightness to the whole.
The bulls constitute the nucleus of the composition, represented in different postures and shades. The pictorial treatment prioritizes expressivity and a sense of movement over academic detail, placing the work within a contemporary interpretation of Spanish taurine costumbrismo.
The painting is presented in a solid dark wood frame with stepped moldings and a fine inner gold trim, which complements the traditional character of the scene.
On the back there is a handwritten inscription "Bulls in the field", accompanied by a signature and the inscription "99".
