A painted bullfighting backglass with a pale cream-yellow arena floor filling the lower half and a dark maroon and red concentric ring motif behind the centre figure. A wide yellow-green banner runs across the top carrying the huge title TOREADOR in fat white block capitals with a heavy red drop shadow, with the maker's name in cursive script and TWO PLAYER in red block capitals stacked at the left of the banner. Dead centre stands a single matador figure: a slim adult man in an elaborate orange, gold and black matador jacket with gold epaulettes, sky-blue tight trousers, a black wide-brimmed hat and a pink-and-white ruff, holding a bright red muleta cape that billows to his left. A dark brown and black bull charges at the cape from the left with dust puffs at its hooves. On the upper right a smiling woman with dark hair wears a large red-and-gold lace mantilla and headdress over bare shoulders. Two fan-shaped multi-window score panels sit left and right, labelled 1st PLAYER and 2nd PLAYER. Curved grey bullring fence rails fill both lower corners.
