El Cordobés. Fréjus 1965. A bullfight Picasso attended (see "Picasso").

In Fréjus, 1965, matador El Cordobés is captured in a moment of intense contemplation at a bullfight also attended by Pablo Picasso. Seen in profile from slightly behind, he wears a traditional black montera hat and the ornate, embroidered jacket of his "suit of lights." His focused gaze is directed towards the right as he holds a piece of his cape near his face. The strong sunlight creates a high-contrast image, with the blurred figures of the crowd softly visible in the background.
