Luis Miguel Dominguin. Nimes 1960. A bullfight Picasso attended (see "Picasso").

In the sandy arena of Nimes, matador Luis Miguel Dominguin executes a pass during a 1960 bullfight attended by Pablo Picasso. Dressed in an ornate "suit of lights," Dominguin holds the muleta low as the bull charges past, its head down and horns aimed at the cloth. Banderillas are visible in the powerful animal’s shoulders, and the strong sunlight casts dramatic shadows, highlighting the tension of the scene as spectators watch from behind a wooden barrier.
