At a local corrida in Vallauris, 1954, Pablo Picasso leans from the stands to congratulate the bullfighter Pepe Luis Marca. The artist, wearing a patterned shirt with a cigarette in his mouth, has just presented Marca with a ceramic plate of his own design as a prize. Dressed in a "suit of lights," Marca holds the plate while shaking Picasso’s hand. To the left, French bullfighter Pierrette Le Bourdiec looks on. In the stands are Michel Leiris, Claude Picasso, mayor Paul Derigon, Hélène Parmelin, and Edouard Pignon.
