At the Studios de la Victorine in Nice in 1955, Pablo Picasso works on a monumental pastoral scene. The drawing on paper, intended as a background for the film "Le mystère Picasso," depicts a faun playing a double flute amidst several nudes. Shirtless and viewed from behind, the artist applies his brush to the towering artwork as his daughter, Maya Picasso, observes to the right, holding a palette and brush.
