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

In the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955, a bare-chested Pablo Picasso applies paint to a monumental line drawing. This bucolic pastoral scene, created on paper, was intended to serve as a background for the film "Le mystère Picasso". To his right, his daughter Maya, dressed in a striped sweater, watches him work, holding a paintbrush and a small box.
