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 a high angle at work. Seen from behind, the artist stands before a large horizontal canvas, painting a dramatic stage in a bullfight where the bullfighter is caught by the horns of the bull. The monumental work rests on a low support amid a clutter of paints and brushes. Strong lighting from the right illuminates the artist and his creation, casting deep shadows across the stark studio, where a silhouetted observer watches from the foreground.
