About the Artwork

That is the way the world goes. They mock and bullfight each other. The one who yesterday played the bull today plays the bullfighter on horseback. Fortune directs the game and assigns the parts according to the inconstancy of her caprices.

 

Así va el mundo: unos á otros se burlan y se torean; el que ayer hacía de toro, hoy hace de caballero en plaza. La fortuna dirige la fiesta y distribuye los papeles según la inconstancia de sus caprichos.
