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

In the sandy arena of Arles in 1960, matador Luis Miguel Dominguin, dressed in an ornate *traje de luces*, presents his dark cape, the *muleta*, to a bull. With its head lowered and horns pointed forward, the animal is poised to charge, decorated *banderillas* visible in its shoulders. Bright sunlight casts strong shadows of the classic confrontation as spectators—among them Pablo Picasso—watch from the stands of the ancient amphitheater.
