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, seen from behind and shirtless, stands on a ladder to draw studies for "War and Peace" on the wall of the Chapelle de la Paix in Vallauris, 1953. The vast, curved surface features a prominent stylized dove sketched in fluid, confident lines. He created these drawings for a documentary by Luciano Emmer while the original 1952 panels were on exhibition. To the right, an observer in a suit jacket sits casually on a low brick wall, watching the artist at work.
