The Picador painting is a childhood picture painted by the Spanish painter Pablo Picasso in 1889.[1] It is probably one of the earliest existing pictures by him, if not the earliest.[2][3][4][5]

The painting depicts a bullfight, an activity which Picasso was already attending at age seven.[6]

In 2017, the painting was featured in the exhibition Picasso: Minotaurs and Matadors at the Gagosian Gallery in London.
