Pablo Picasso before 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, Pablo Picasso’s silhouette is starkly defined against a brightly lit canvas. Seen from behind in a director’s-style chair, the artist prepares to work on a bucolic pastoral scene on paper, which would serve as a background for the film "Le mystère Picasso". The high-contrast lighting casts him into deep shadow, his posture relaxed and one foot bare on the floor of the spartan studio. Nice, 1955.
