Shirtless and poised on a wooden ladder, Pablo Picasso works on a bucolic pastoral scene. The large line drawing, featuring a stylized nude figure with a winged creature, was created as a background for the film 'Le mystère Picasso'. To the right, his daughter Maya Picasso observes him. The photograph, captured at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice in 1955, is marked by strong side lighting that casts prominent shadows of the artist and his ladder across the studio.
