Information technology inherits its own text from the volume written by the bullfighter José Delgado (allonym Pepe Hillo, or Ilio) in 1796, with the intent to develop a sort of theoretical and pedagogic manual of the art of Tauromaquia.

The technique used by Picasso is "Sugar lift aquatint", a technique through which the Spanish painter emphasizes the emotion of the scenes while maintaining a formal elegance and residuum of boggling dazzler.
