A drink before the bullfight. Pablo Picasso, Françoise Gilot and the Spanish toreros Jose Montero (right) and Luis Marca with a statuette of a fighting bull, presented to Pablo Picasso by the toreadors. First Corrida of Vallauris 1954.

Pablo Picasso is seated centrally at a boisterous gathering before the first bullfight in Vallauris, 1954. He is joined by his companion Françoise Gilot, seen in profile, and Spanish toreros Jose Montero (right) and Luis Marca (left). In a patterned shirt, Picasso looks intently to the side as Montero smiles warmly. Dominating the cluttered table of glasses and seltzer bottles is a statuette of a fighting bull, a gift to the artist from the toreadors. An accordion player in the background adds to the festive, informal atmosphere.
