From right: Julio Aparicio and Antonio Ordóñez. Arles 1960. A bullfight Picasso attended (see "Picasso").

In the bullring of Arles in 1960, matadors Antonio Ordóñez (left) and Julio Aparicio share a quiet, contemplative moment during a bullfight attended by Picasso. Dressed in ornate "traje de luces," Ordóñez wears a focused expression beneath his montera hat. To his right, Aparicio holds a post, his left hand bandaged, his gaze somber. A white wooden barrier separates them, while the packed stands blur into the background, keeping the focus on the two men amidst the spectacle.
