Antonio Ordóñez. Arles 1960. A bullfight Picasso attended (see "Picasso").

Matador Antonio Ordóñez leans on the wooden barrier of the bullring in Arles, 1960. Viewed from behind, he wears an ornate *traje de luces* (suit of lights), a black *montera* hat, and a traditional *coleta* pigtail. The photograph captures a quiet, pensive moment as he gazes into the arena, with the out-of-focus stands filled with spectators. Pablo Picasso was among the attendees at this event.
