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 seen from behind, Pablo Picasso is absorbed in his work on a large canvas depicting a dramatic stage in a bullfight. He meticulously applies his paintbrush to the eye of a stylized bull that has caught a bullfighter on its horns. His left hand, holding a rag and a lit cigarette, rests near the bottom of the painting. This moment was captured during the filming of Henri-Georges Clouzot’s "Le mystère Picasso" at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955.
