El Cordobés. Fréjus 1965. A bullfight Picasso attended (see "Picasso").

The matador El Cordobés performs in the Fréjus arena, 1965, during a bullfight also attended by Pablo Picasso. A large, dark bull is captured mid-charge, its front hooves kicking up dust from the sand as several decorated banderillas are lodged in its back and shoulders. Dressed in an ornate suit, El Cordobés stands his ground, holding the muleta which billows above the passing animal as a large crowd of spectators watches intently from the stands.
