Additional details: Miroir de la Tauromachie” (1990) is a powerful triptych lithograph by Francis Bacon that explores the drama and tension of bullfighting through contorted figures and bold colour. Printed in a limited edition of 150 and published by Galerie Lelong, Paris, it is one of Bacon’s most striking graphic works. Each of the three sheets is hand‑signed in pencil and comes with a certificate of authenticity. This rare and evocative piece offers collectors a compelling example of Bacon’s intense engagement with movement, ritual and the human condition
