Preparatory drawing of the print The same Ceballos mounted on another bull that broke the rejones in the bullring of Madrid. This is a work of great quality, in which we see the bullfighter Mariano Ceballos, alias "El Indio", on the back of a bull, while he tries to dominate it and it charges another bull. Ceballos and the bull he is riding occupy practically the whole of the drawing, and behind, in a foreshortened position, appears the other bull, which is lighter in colour. The drawing is stripped of any element that might distract attention from this spectacle.

When the drawing was transferred to the plate, Goya kept the same composition and the only slight changes were the shadows that appear on the bull in a foreshortened position and under the charging bull. The bullfighter's face is less expressive than in the print, although here too, despite its lower level of finish, it conveys the sensation that the figure is making a great effort to control the animal.

Gassier emphasises the bull's leap and how well Goya captures his muscles in this action. For him it is related to a drawing in Notebook E entitled Nightmare and to the lithograph of the Bordeaux Bulls called The Famous American, Mariano Ceballos, in which we again see Ceballos on the back of a bull.
