El Cordobés. Fréjus 1965. A bullfight Picasso attended (see "Picasso").
In the Fréjus arena in 1965, the matador El Cordobés stands poised in his ornate *traje de luces*. He looks down towards a large, dark bull moving away, its hooves kicking up a cloud of dust. Two decorated *banderillas* are lodged in the animal’s back. Holding his *muleta* and sword, El Cordobés casts a distinct shadow on the sand under the bright sun, observed by a packed crowd of spectators that included Pablo Picasso.
