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 in his workspace at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, Pablo Picasso contemplates a large canvas during the 1955 filming of "Le mystère Picasso". The painting captures a dramatic moment in a bullfight, depicting a bullfighter caught by the animal's horns in a complex, fragmented style. The cluttered studio floor and a makeshift work surface below the painting are covered with paint cans, brushes, and a paint-splattered palette.
