Pablo Picasso, shirtless atop an A-frame ladder, works on a massive pastoral scene at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955. This large-scale drawing on paper was created as a background for the film *Le mystère Picasso*. In the dramatically lit studio, an assistant steadies the ladder while Picasso’s daughter, Maya, sits on the floor to the right, observing her father.
