Signed and numbered on the limited edition in pencil front and verso. Printed at Curwen Studios and published by Waddington Graphics (England).
Dimensions: 64 x 84 cm. (25.2 x 33.1 in.)
Dame Elisabeth Frink, a prolific print artist, painter, and sculptor, produced a series of eight bullfighting lithographs in 1973 inspired by the bullfights she had witnessed in the Camargue region, south of Arles in France.
She had moved here in 1964 following her marriage to Edward Pool and lived and worked there until the mid 1970s. Her lithographs depict both male bull fighters and the female rejoneadoras who rode horseback during the bull fights and speared bulls with lances.
Rarely depicted in (action) art, rejoneadoras display technique, skill and bravado as they control their horse, weaken and demoralize the bull, and provide the crowds with spectacular show(wo)manship.
This excellent example of Rejoneadora I is Edition 40 of 72. One hangs in the TATE, another in the BROOKLYN MUSEUM.
