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.

Seen from behind, a shirtless Pablo Picasso stands atop a stepladder to work on a study for 'War and Peace'. He draws the fluid, black outline of a bird's head directly onto a wall of the Chapelle de la Paix in Vallauris for Luciano Emmer's documentary film. The work was necessary as the original 1952 panels were away on exhibition at the time. Vallauris, 1953.
