A striking lithograph by the celebrated French painter Bernard Buffet, this work depicts Escamillo, the bold and charismatic toreador from Bizet's opera *Carmen*, rendered in Buffet's signature angular, expressive style. The artist's characteristically stark lines and dramatic use of color bring a theatrical intensity to the figure, capturing the swagger and bravado of the celebrated bullfighter. Printed in colors on wove paper with full margins, this lithograph exemplifies Buffet's mastery of the graphic arts and his ability to translate his distinctive painterly vision into the print medium.
