Pablo Picasso works on a bucolic pastoral scene at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955. He stands as a dark silhouette, his back to the viewer, before the massive, brightly illuminated drawing paper. The artwork, featuring dynamic figures and mythological creatures in bold lines, was to serve as a background for the film "Le mystère Picasso." To the right, his daughter Maya is also cast in silhouette, observing her father.
