Pablo Picasso with a Spanish wicker mask of a bull, originally intended for bullfighters' training, takes a lesson in bull fighting from an expert, the matador Luis Miguel Dominguin. La Californie, Cannes 1959.

In the light-filled studio of his villa La Californie, Pablo Picasso receives a lesson in bullfighting from the matador Luis Miguel Dominguin. With a cigarette dangling from his lips, Picasso holds a Spanish wicker mask of a bull, originally intended for training, as Dominguin looks down intently. Sunlight floods the room through an arched window, casting long shadows across the floor, which is scattered with numerous canvases and paintings. Cannes, 1959.
