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.

At the Studios de la Victorine in Nice in 1955, Pablo Picasso is absorbed in his work during the filming of "Le mystère Picasso". Shirtless and in dark shorts, his back to the camera, he paints a large canvas depicting a bullfighter caught by the horns of the bull. His shadow is cast sharply across the Cubist-style work in progress. The artist is surrounded by the functional clutter of his studio, with paint tubes on a workbench and brushes scattered across the tiled floor.
