Paco Camino, Nimes 1960. A bullfight Picasso attended (see "Picasso").

In Nimes, 1960, matador Paco Camino pauses for an intimate portrait during a bullfight also attended by Pablo Picasso. He looks directly at the camera with a focused, somber expression, dressed in a traditional 'suit of lights' (*traje de luces*). The rich purple jacket, heavily embellished with intricate gold embroidery, is worn over a white ruffled shirt and a vibrant red tie. His attire is completed by the traditional black *montera* hat. The shallow depth of field isolates him from the blurred arena and spectators, emphasizing a moment of quiet gravity.
