Before the first bullfight in Vallauris in 1954, Pablo Picasso sits at the center of a lively feast. Wearing a patterned shirt, his intense gaze is fixed forward as he is flanked by Spanish toreros Jose Montero, smiling at right, and Luis Marca. The toreros presented Picasso with a statuette of a fighting bull. In the foreground, his companion Françoise Gilot is seen in profile. A large roast on a platter forms the centerpiece of the cluttered table, capturing a moment of boisterous, communal enjoyment.
