In the Arles arena during the Corrida des vendanges of 1959, matador Antonio Ordóñez stands in a moment of suspended tension. Dressed in his ornate 'traje de luces,' he pauses before a large, dark bull, his muleta resting on the sand. Watching intently from the stands is an illustrious group including Pablo Picasso with his wife Jacqueline and son Paulo, Jean Cocteau, Francine Weisweiller, John Richardson, Douglas Cooper, Lucia Bosè, and fellow matador Luis Miguel Dominguin, who observes while injured.
