The Salon on 1864 included Manet's painting Episode from a Bullfight , which he later divided into two fragments, both reworked as single compositions. One of the fragments, the Dead Toreador (now in the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.), was first exhibited in 1867, and the etching shown here dates from that time or shortly after. The etching itself was exhibited in the Salon of 1869 with Exotic Flower , which is stylistically similar and also of a Spanish theme.
