In the sun-drenched stands of the Nîmes amphitheater, Pablo Picasso claps with focused attention during a 1960 bullfight. He is accompanied by (from left) his son Paulo, the writer Michel Leiris, and Jacqueline Roque. In the foreground, the intricate embroidery of a matador’s parade cape (*capote de paseo*) is draped over the barrier. Behind the central group, a vast crowd fills the stone tiers, their collective gaze directed towards the unseen spectacle below, creating a powerful sense of shared experience.
