Director Henri-Georges Clouzot, seen in silhouette, on the set of his film *Le mystère Picasso* at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955. In the stark, high-contrast scene, a single, harsh spotlight cuts through the darkness of the expansive studio. It illuminates a central wooden structure adorned with two graphic artworks, while an artist’s easel stands nearby. The surrounding space is enveloped in deep, grainy shadow, creating a dramatic and contemplative atmosphere.
