In the sunlit studio of his Cannes villa, La Californie, Pablo Picasso takes an informal bullfighting lesson from the expert matador Luis-Miguel Dominguin in 1959. With a cigarette dangling from his lips, Picasso wields a Spanish wicker mask of a bull, originally made for training. Dressed in a dark V-neck sweater, Dominguin observes the scene with a slight smile, the candid moment captured amidst canvases and sculptures.
