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.

In the Chapelle de la Paix in Vallauris, 1953, Pablo Picasso works on the study drawings for "War and Peace." Shirtless and wearing only dark shorts, he is captured in profile, stepping onto a wooden stool to reach the upper part of the wall with intense concentration. The artist recreated the composition directly on the wall for a documentary by Luciano Emmer, as the original 1952 panels were away on exhibition. A classic striped Breton shirt is draped over the wooden structure to the right.
