Matador Julio Aparicio, in an ornate "traje de luces," stands poised in the sandy arena during the Corrida des vendanges in Arles, 1959. He holds a large cape low to the ground, facing a dark bull with a ribboned banderilla in its back. In the crowded stands behind the wooden barrier, a distinguished group watches the event, including John Richardson, Douglas Cooper, Francine Weisweiller, Jean Cocteau, Pablo and Jacqueline Picasso, Luis Miguel Dominguin, and Lucia Bosè.
