Art/Literary - Archaeology | | Spanish term or phrase: labrada la traza | | Eran estos juegos de pelota en unas partes mayores que en otras, y labrada la traza que en la pintura vimos: angosto por el medio y a los cabos, ancho; hechas de propósito aquellos rincones, para que, entrándose allí la pelota, los jugadores no se pudiesen aprovechar de ella e hiciesen falla. |

| | shaped/formed/designed | Explanation:
Labrar: se empleaba con el significado de "trabajar" cualquier material, o elaborar o hacer cualquier producto u obra.Ex. Labrar la madera, piedra, cuero, etc.
Traza: aspecto de una persona o cosa por el que producen peor o mejor impresión.
Source is Diccionario de Uso del Español de María Moliner.
If translated literally the term is redundant, i.e. its outward aspect or form /shaped/designed/formed/worked as can be seen in the painting.You could keep the verb or the noun or both terms, I don't really know which sounds better in English. Regards and hope it helps:-)
