This exceptional original ink and watercolor drawing by celebrated American artist and illustrator John Groth (1908–1988) perfectly captures the raw, kinetic energy of a traditional Spanish bullfight. Utilizing his world-renowned "speed line" technique a dynamic shorthand sketching style famously praised by Ernest Hemingway - Groth masterfully conveys the high-stakes movement and tension between the charging bull and the matador. The fluid wash of watercolor against the sharp, frantic ink work gives this piece incredible visual texture and mid-century character.
