Pablo Picasso with a Spanish wicker mask of a bull, originally intended for bullfighters' training, takes a lesson in bull fighting from an expert, the matador Luis Miguel Dominguin. La Californie, Cannes 1959.

In his sunlit studio at Villa La Californie, Pablo Picasso receives a lesson in bullfighting from the matador Luis Miguel Dominguin. The discussion centers on a Spanish wicker mask of a bull, originally intended for training. Picasso, a cigarette in his mouth, wears a dark shirt and patterned trousers, standing opposite Dominguin in his dark V-neck sweater. Sunlight from a large French door casts long shadows across the wooden floor, which is surrounded by the artist's canvases. Cannes, 1959.
