Pablo Picasso working on a bucolic pastoral scene on drawing paper which was to serve as background for the film "Le mystère Picasso". Nice, Studios de la Victorine 1955.

At the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955, a bare-chested Pablo Picasso works on a large-scale bucolic pastoral scene. The vast drawing on paper was created as background for the film *Le mystère Picasso*. With his back mostly to the camera, the artist applies a dab of black paint to a tumbling nude figure, part of a dynamic composition that includes a faun playing a double-pipe instrument. To the far right, an assistant is partially visible, holding a small can of paint for the artist.
