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

At the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955, a shirtless Pablo Picasso works on a vast canvas for the film "Le mystère Picasso". Captured in profile, the artist wears dark shorts and sandals as he intently applies his brush to a Cubist composition. The painting portrays a dramatic stage in a bullfight: the moment a matador is caught by the horns of the bull. Below the work-in-progress, a makeshift shelf holds his palette and paint-stained rags, while cans and brushes are scattered across the concrete floor. Strong light from the right casts his focused silhouette against the wall.
