In a moment of focused tension during the Corrida des vendanges in Arles, 1959, matador Antonio Ordóñez pauses in the sandy arena. Dressed in his ornate "traje de luces," he stands with head bowed before the bull, his muleta held low. Among the spectators watching from the stands are Pablo Picasso and Jacqueline Roque, Jean Cocteau, Lucia Bosè, and fellow matador Luis Miguel Dominguín, sidelined by an injury.
