Françoise Gilot, opening the corrida of Vallauris 1.8.1954.

With a wide smile, Françoise Gilot opens the corrida of Vallauris on horseback, 1 August 1954. She sits upright in the saddle, dressed in a light-coloured shirt with a cravat, dark trousers, and a flat-topped, wide-brimmed hat. Her horse, dark with white markings, is captured mid-stride in the dirt arena, its sharp shadow cast by the strong sun. In the background, a dense crowd of spectators watches from behind a rustic wooden fence under a clear sky.
