Manet hints at the deeper meaning of his painting in the title Mademoiselle V. in the Costume of an Espada. This masterpiece puts on a show for viewers. We know that partially from the term "costume". Also, if you're into Goya, you may recognize this as an homage to his Tauromaquia series. Though it honors the Spanish master's work, this is no copy. Manet gave his favorite model, Victorine Meurent, a pink rather than a red cape. She's also shod in footwear that no bullfighter would be caught dead in... bows and all.
