Female Bullfighter II
Fine art by Pablo Picasso From the Vollard Suite, Pablo Picasso's "Marie-Thérèse en femme torero, II"
is a prominent etching from his renowned collection known as the Vollard Suite. This suite of 100 etchings was created by Picasso between 1930 and 1937 for his art dealer, Ambroise Vollard.
The print depicts a turbulent scene from a bullfight, a recurring theme in Picasso's work that was deeply rooted in his Spanish heritage. The etching shows Marie-Thérèse Walter, his muse and mistress at the time, as a female bullfighter who has fainted and is draped over the back of a bull. The distressed horse is also entangled in the scene, which is rich with personal symbolism related to Picasso's own tumultuous personal life and his strained relationship with his wife, Olga Koklova.
The Vollard Suite is considered a monumental achievement in printmaking, showcasing Picasso's mastery of various techniques like etching, drypoint, and aquatint. The prints were not released until the 1950s due to Vollard's death and the outbreak of World War II. A complete set of the suite is owned by major museums, including the British Museum and the National Gallery of Australia.
