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, a makeshift workbench—a plank laid across two sawhorses—is cluttered with Pablo Picasso’s tools, 1953. Paint cans, brushes, and stained rags are scattered across the surface. Behind it, the faint, large-scale outline of a figure is visible on the wall. Picasso created these "War and Peace" study drawings for a Luciano Emmer documentary, as the original 1952 panels were away on exhibition. A tall wooden ladder leans against the wall nearby.
