Moving away from static and traditional bullfighting prints, the artist captures all the dramatic tension and movement of a pass (probably a pass of the chest) using only the contrast of black and white. The technique is masterful: Hernández applies the brush heavily loaded with ink to define the areas of deep shadow —the anatomy of the bull and the bullfighter's jacket— and uses the white of the paper (negative space) to brilliantly suggest the light and volume of the cape. The result is a quickly executed, agile drawing of undeniable modernity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eA biographical document: the gift between creators\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eBeyond its obvious technical quality, the great historical and curatorial value of this piece lies in its handwritten dedication: \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"129\"\u003e\"To the marvelous artist Santiago de Les, providential genius, of the precious art of fine rendering.
