A shirtless Pablo Picasso, a patterned blanket draped over his shoulder, watches a local corrida in Vallauris in 1957. He is surrounded by a dense crowd of captivated spectators, including his housekeeper Inès Sassier and her son Gérard. To his right, Andalusian banderillero Francisco Reina “El Minuni” smiles warmly, dressed in his highly embroidered “traje de luces.” The faces filling the frame express a shared fascination with the festive outdoor spectacle.
