Jean Cocteau, Douglas Cooper, John Richardson (far right). Bullfight, Nimes 1960. (Photos in the bull ring of this bullfight see "Miscellanous".)

At a 1960 bullfight in Nimes, Jean Cocteau is captured in the front rows of the packed stone arena. From a low perspective, the camera focuses on Cocteau’s pensive expression. He is seated with art historians Douglas Cooper, who appears more animated beside him, and John Richardson (far right). The dense crowd, a mass of faces and varied attire, creates the atmosphere of a bustling public event, with a mixture of focused attention and social interaction.
