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 captured from behind, deeply engrossed in his work. Barefoot on the concrete floor, he stands before a large canvas, painting a dynamic, cubist-style composition that portrays a bullfighter being caught by the horns of a bull. A single bright lamp illuminates the scene, casting dramatic shadows. The photograph, framed by heavy beams in the foreground, offers an intimate, behind-the-scenes glimpse into the artist's focused creative process.
