This bullfight drawing carries forward the same dynamic theme, but introduces nuanced variations that lend it a unique vitality.
Here, the artist uses softer gradations of charcoal, creating smoother, rounded contours that emphasize the muscular tension and bulk of the animals. The bulls are again locked horn-to-horn, pushing against each other with immense force, but in this version, their forms are slightly clearer and more sculptural, with more emphasis on volume and anatomy.
The arcs created by their curved backs and sweeping tails form a circular rhythm across the composition, enclosing the clash in a whirl of energy. The background remains stark and empty, further magnifying the drama of the confrontation.
Symbolically, this image seems less chaotic and more monumental than the first one. Where the earlier drawing stressed motion and blurred energy, this one leans toward a timeless sense of endurance and willpower — as if capturing the essence of confrontation itself.
