At the first local Corrida in Vallauris, organized by Pablo Picasso in 1954, the artist leans over a wooden barrier to congratulate Pepe Luis Marca. The bullfighter, dressed in an ornate *traje de luces*, accepts the handshake after being awarded a ceramic plate by Picasso. In the packed, festive stands alongside Picasso are Françoise Gilot (in a hat), Hélène Parmelin, Edouard Pignon, and Marcel Duhamel. The arena is decorated with pennant banners and an embroidered floral shawl.
