Julio Aparicio. Arles 1959. A bullfight Picasso attended (see "Picasso").

Matador Julio Aparicio kneels on one knee in the Arles bullring in 1959, locked in a tense face-off with a bull. Dressed in an ornate traditional costume, he holds a cape on the sand as the animal stands close, its head lowered. A decorated banderilla is lodged in the bull's back. Among the spectators filling the stands was Pablo Picasso.
