Dramatically lit by a single spotlight, Pablo Picasso is a commanding silhouette as he studies a bucolic pastoral scene on drawing paper. The artwork, featuring nudes and a faun, was created as a background for the film "Le mystère Picasso." To the right, his daughter Maya Picasso also stands in silhouette, observing the work's progress. This behind-the-scenes moment was captured at the industrial Studios de la Victorine in Nice in 1955.
