Pablo Picasso working on the "War and Peace study" drawings on the wall of Chapelle de la Paix (or Temple de la Paix) for the documentary film of Luciano Emmer. (The panels of War and Peace of 1952 were away on exhibition). Vallauris 1953.

Pablo Picasso, shirtless and holding a small glass, stands in a moment of contemplation. He is in the Chapelle de la Paix in Vallauris, 1953, creating study drawings for 'War and Peace' directly on the wall for Luciano Emmer’s documentary film, as the original 1952 panels were away on exhibition. Before him, a plank on sawhorses serves as a makeshift workbench, covered with paint cans, brushes, and sticks of charcoal.
