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

Perched on a ladder at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, a shirtless Pablo Picasso works on a monumental drawing in 1955. The bucolic pastoral scene, rendered in bold black lines, was created to serve as a background for the film "Le mystère Picasso". Among the small group of observers is his daughter, Maya Picasso, standing on a wooden crate to the right to gain a better vantage point as the artist creates his composition of stylized figures.
