Paco Camino with his sword. Bullfight at Fréjus 1965. A bullfight Picasso attended (see "Picasso").

In the sun-drenched arena of Fréjus in 1965, matador Paco Camino confronts a black bull during a bullfight attended by Pablo Picasso. Dressed in an ornate "traje de luces" with intricate gold embroidery, Camino holds the red muleta in one hand and his sword in the other, preparing for a pass. Colorful banderillas are embedded in the bull's shoulders, and sharp shadows fall across the sand. Beyond the red wooden barrier, the tiered stands are densely packed with spectators under a bright, clear sky.
