A Box at the Bullfight, by Canals (1904)

A Box at the Bullfight, by Canals (1904)

Canals, Ricardo (1876-1931)

1904

In the image appears a group of young women in a box. By the title it is understood that they are watching a bullfight. Most women appear with mantillas and flowers, dressed in regional dresses and some with fans. All of these women appear to be the same age. However, there are two women on the left without mantillas and the one dressed in brown seems to be much older than the rest. In this case, the older woman could be represented as the procuress for the young women.
