Pablo Picasso with a Spanish wicker mask of a bull, originally intended for bullfighters' training, takes a lesson in bull fighting from an expert, the matador Luis Miguel Dominguin. La Californie, Cannes 1959.

In the sun-drenched, high-ceilinged studio of his Villa La Californie, Pablo Picasso observes an impromptu bullfighting lesson from the expert matador Luis Miguel Dominguin. The younger Dominguin strikes a dynamic pose, while Picasso, seen from the back in patterned trousers, stands attentively. Light from arched windows streams across the herringbone floor, illuminating a cluttered creative space of large canvases, paintings, and sculptures. Cannes, 1959.
