Pablo Picasso at the bullfight, Michel Leiris. Douglas Cooper. Arles 1960.

Amidst the packed stone tiers of the Arles arena in 1960, Pablo Picasso attends a bullfight. The artist, wearing a light-colored suit and a cowboy hat, holds a cigarette to his lips with a focused expression. He is seated with the writer Michel Leiris, who smiles broadly at the event, and the art historian Douglas Cooper. The dense crowd of spectators, separated from the viewer by a rough-hewn wooden wall, creates a vivid backdrop for this candid moment.
