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.

At the Studios de la Victorine, Pablo Picasso, shirtless in dark shorts and espadrilles, works on a pastoral scene for the film "Le mystère Picasso." As a crew member holds a ladder before the large ink drawing, Picasso's daughter, Maya, observes from the right with hands on her hips. The film set is dramatically lit by a single overhead light, casting strong shadows on the wall behind the group gathered around the artwork. Nice, 1955.
