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

The matador El Cordobés, seen from behind, stands poised in the Fréjus bullring in 1965. Dressed in an elaborate "traje de luces," he holds the muleta which drapes onto the sand. Facing him is a large, dark bull, several barbed banderillas in its back, its head lowered in a tense standoff. The surrounding stands are crowded with spectators, among them Pablo Picasso, who was in attendance.
