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

Matador Luis Miguel Dominguin strides across the sand of the Arles arena in 1960, during a bullfight attended by Pablo Picasso. Captured in profile, he wears an ornate *traje de luces* (“suit of lights”), with its heavily embroidered jacket and traditional coleta hairstyle. Carrying a folded cape, his expression is focused as he walks before tiered stands filled with spectators in the historic venue. An advertisement for “VICHY” is visible on the wooden barrier separating the ring from the seats.
