After the Bullfight

Mary Cassatt chose a quintessentially Spanish subject, executing this composition of a bullfighter, or <em>torero</em>, in full regalia during an extended stay in Seville. Having trained in Philadelphia and Paris, Cassatt ventured to Spain to study the country’s Renaissance and Baroque works and to follow the path of French avant-garde artists like Édouard Manet.
