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.

During the filming of "Le mystère Picasso" at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice in 1955, a shirtless Pablo Picasso is captured from behind, immersed in his work. He holds a paintbrush in his right hand and a cloth in his left, actively painting on a large, horizontal canvas. The Cubist-style composition portrays a dramatic stage in a bullfight, showing a bullfighter caught by the horns of the bull. The artwork is filled with fragmented shapes, bold black outlines, and contrasting shades of grey, while the artist’s supplies rest in the foreground.
