A collection of engravings by Gustave Doré, curated by Antonio de Horna and best known for his work on an edition of "Don Quixote" published in London in 1880, which was a resounding success. Having achieved success in France, he moved to England, where he was even more highly regarded for his depictions of Victorian life and customs in the mid-19th century. In this same book, Antonio de Horna includes a brief biography of the artist, explaining the intention behind this collection: "His true glory... would come to him... when his undeniable genius, embodied in more than ten thousand drawings and engravings, was recognized."

Collection of engravings. “Goya’s Bullfighting”. Special edition directed by Antonio de Horna. 1815-1983. Madrid, Culture and Art Collection, De Horna Publishers. 39 plates. Antonio de Horna directed this compilation of the series of engravings from Francisco de Goya's (1746-1828) *La Tauromaquia*, composed of 39 engravings and first published in 1816, along with eleven other prints considered "unpublished" because they did not appear in that first edition. It seems he intended to illustrate passages from Nicolás Fernández de Moratín's 1777 work, *Carta histórica sobre el origen y progreso de las corridas de toros en España* (Historical Letter on the Origin and Progress of Bullfighting in Spain), to which he added personal recollections and some famous bullfighting incidents from the painter's time.

Classic bracket in marble dust. Beneath a simple molding, a volute with an open center reveals a shell-like shape in a different tone, the lines of which it follows. This two-tone effect is also seen in other architectural details of the corbel, such as the oval shield with volutes in the lower section, and the three drops in the center. While the inspiration from classical elements is clear, these have been used freely, resulting in a highly original work of art.
