Pablo Picasso, shirtless and seen from behind, creates a large bucolic scene on drawing paper at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955. The work, populated by fauns and nudes drawn in a fluid line style, was intended as a background for the film "Le mystère Picasso." To the right, his daughter Maya Picasso observes the work in progress.
