Antonio Ordóñez. Arles 1960. A bullfight Picasso attended (see "Picasso").

Matador Antonio Ordóñez is captured in a moment of calm focus in Arles, 1960, during a bullfight attended by Pablo Picasso. Seen from the waist up in the *callejón*, the passageway behind the bullring’s wooden barrier, he wears a traditional black *montera* and a richly embroidered *traje de luces*. A white bandage is wrapped around his right wrist as his hand rests near his waist. In the background, the sunlit stands of the arena are filled with a large, blurred crowd of spectators, separating the matador from the bustling scene.
