"Le mystère Picasso", work on corrida painting

For the film "Le mystère Picasso," Pablo Picasso created this stylized corrida scene on a rectangular surface, possibly a ceramic tile. A sun with an eye in its center radiates above a curved arena where dark, silhouetted figures on horseback engage with a bull. Wavy, scalloped lines fill the foreground, complemented by graphic elements like circles and a star. The composition is characterized by a childlike, graphic style with bold lines and simplified forms.
