Pablo Picasso working on a bucolic pastoral scene on drawing paper which was to serve as background for the film "Le mystère Picasso" by Henri-Georges Clouzot. Nice, Studios de la Victorine 1955.

In the moody lighting of the Studios de la Victorine, Pablo Picasso works on a bucolic pastoral scene. With a pipe in his mouth, the artist stands before the large drawing, its bold, linear nudes and faun intended as a background for Henri-Georges Clouzot’s film, "Le mystère Picasso." A vintage bellows camera on a stand is prominent in the foreground, next to a sculptural bust of a man with intense, deep-set eyes. Nice, 1955.
