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 1955 filming of "Le mystère Picasso" at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, Pablo Picasso is seen from behind, engrossed in his work. Dressed in a patterned shirt and shorts, he extends his right arm toward a large canvas propped on pedestals. The dramatic, abstract painting, rendered in black, white, and grey, portrays a bullfighter being caught on the horns of a bull. Strong lighting from the right creates a high-contrast scene, casting a deep shadow of the artist and his easel onto the studio wall, capturing an intimate moment of intense creation.
