Pablo Picasso working on a bucolic pastoral scene on drawing paper which was to serve as background for the film "Le mystère Picasso" by Henri-Georges Clouzot. Nice, Studios de la Victorine 1955.

Pablo Picasso and director Henri-Georges Clouzot collaborate on the film "Le mystère Picasso" at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955. A shirtless Picasso leans over the large bellows camera with a slight smile as Clouzot, smoking a pipe, looks on with focused attention. They are preparing to film a bucolic pastoral scene created by the artist for the film. In the dramatically lit studio, another of Picasso’s large-scale paintings with stylized figures is visible in the background.
