Pablo Picasso portrays a stage in the bullfight when the bullfighter is caught by the horns of the bull. During filming of "Le mystère Picasso". Nice, Studios de la Victorine, 1955.

Shirtless and in profile, Pablo Picasso paints a dramatic bullfighting scene for the film *Le mystère Picasso*. With a lit cigarette in one hand and a brush in the other, he depicts the moment a matador is caught by the bull’s horns. The stark lighting of the set casts his shadow on the studio wall behind the large canvas, below which a ledge holds his paint-laden palette and rags. Studios de la Victorine, Nice, 1955.
