Pablo Picasso, seen from behind, is engrossed in his work at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice during the 1955 filming of "Le mystère Picasso". Wearing a dark smock, he extends a long paintbrush towards a large canvas, adding to a dramatic cubist composition. The painting portrays the moment a bullfighter is caught by the horns of the bull. A circular lamp casts a strong light on the scene, throwing the shadow of the artist’s arm and brush across the lower section of the artwork and underscoring the intense creative concentration.
