Foolishness of the Little Bulls | Francisco de Goya | 1820 19th Century The foreground shows wet cobblestoneThis illustration, titled "Foolishness of the Little Bulls", is part of Francisco de Goya's famous series, La Tauromaquia (circa 1820). The artwork depicts a dynamic and somewhat chaotic scene of young bulls engaging in a wild skirmish.
