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, Pablo Picasso is seen from behind, engrossed in painting a large canvas. Dressed in a patterned robe and sandals, he depicts a dramatic bullfight in a Cubist style, portraying the moment the matador is caught on the bull’s horns. In the dimly lit studio, a shelf beneath the work is cluttered with his tools—a palette, bowls, and brushes—while harsh lighting casts a strong shadow of the artist and his easel onto the wall.
