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 in 1955, a shirtless Pablo Picasso is deeply engrossed as he works on a bucolic pastoral scene. With a paintbrush, he creates a bold, black-and-white line drawing of a faun playing a double-belled wind instrument on a large sheet of paper. The artwork was destined to serve as a background for Henri-Georges Clouzot’s film, "Le mystère Picasso".
