Luis Miguel Dominguin. Nimes 1960. A bullfight Picasso attended (see "Picasso").

In the bullring of Nimes in 1960, matador Luis Miguel Dominguin stands poised in a traditional, ornate "traje de luces." With his back mostly to the camera, he holds the muleta low before a charging bull. The dark, powerful animal passes under the cape with its head down, kicking up a cloud of dust, the barbed banderillas visible in its back. In the background, spectators watch from the stands as other men in bullfighting attire observe from behind the barrier.
