At the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955, Pablo Picasso works on a bucolic pastoral scene intended as a background for the film "Le mystère Picasso." Viewed from behind, the shirtless artist applies black lines to the massive, wall-sized drawing. His daughter, Maya, stands to the right in a striped shirt, observing the fluid composition of stylized nudes and fantastical creatures as it takes shape.
