A band plays Pablo Picasso’s favourite Spanish melodies upon his arrival in the village square of Vallauris for a corrida in 1955. In a moment of communal joy, Jean Cocteau playfully crowns the artist with a traditional hat. Picasso is surrounded by his partner Jacqueline Roque and children Claude and Paloma. Among the crowd are his nephew Javier Vilató with his wife Germaine Lascaux, and photographer Jacques-Henri Lartigue with his wife Florette. Musicians on saxophone and trumpet animate the foreground of the festive scene.
