Françoise Gilot, opening the corrida of Vallauris 1.8.1954.
Françoise Gilot opens the corrida in Vallauris on 1 August 1954. Wearing a wide-brimmed hat, a light-colored shirt, and dark trousers, she rides a dark horse into the sandy arena, captured in motion with one front leg lifted. Within the ring, men stand dressed in traditional bullfighter’s "traje de luces," or suits of lights. Spectators watch from behind a wooden barrier, one man in a beret perched atop a fence post, as bright sunlight casts strong shadows on the ground.
