In the Arles arena during the Corrida des vendanges of 1959, matador Antonio Ordóñez faces a bull with decorated darts (*banderillas*) in its back. Clad in an embellished 'suit of lights' (*traje de luces*), he holds his cape (*muleta*) low to the ground. Watching intently from the stands are Pablo Picasso and his wife Jacqueline, Jean Cocteau, Lucia Bosè, John Richardson, and fellow matador Luis Miguel Dominguin, sidelined by injury.
