A shirtless Pablo Picasso, perched atop an A-frame ladder, creates a bucolic pastoral scene on a vast sheet of paper destined to be a background for the film "Le mystère Picasso." In the cavernous space of the Studios de la Victorine, the work unfolds under a single, dramatic light, while his daughter Maya and his partner Jacqueline Roque observe from the right. Nice, 1955.
