This lot consists of an Original Gouache on Paper signed 'Picasso'. The paper used is an antique music sheet. One of the things Picasso was always aware of portraying the raw, dangerous muscularity of the bulls he painted. Here the muscularity is captured by the portrayal of a large, magnificent and imposing bull. It's head erect, solo and waiting for the next move on the torreador. This piece is done in the abstract style associated with Pablo Picasso (Spain, 1882 - 1973). This unique piece is painted on a lead sheet of a musical score titled, 'Tafiana Youssoupom'.
