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, Pablo Picasso and an assistant hold up a large drawing intended as a background for the film "Le mystère Picasso". The bucolic pastoral scene, rendered in bold, fluid lines, depicts several mythological figures, including a seated faun playing a pipe, a small goat, and dynamic nudes. The stark studio lighting casts a strong shadow of Picasso, wearing his characteristic white tank top, onto the wall behind him.
