Seen from behind, a shirtless Pablo Picasso stands on a wooden ladder while creating a bucolic pastoral scene. This bold, black line drawing of a smiling, goat-like animal held aloft by several hands was made on drawing paper to serve as a background for the film "Le mystère Picasso". Below and to his right, his daughter Maya Picasso observes the artist at work. The photograph was taken at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice in 1955.
