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.

At the Studios de la Victorine in Nice in 1955, a shirtless Pablo Picasso sits in a director’s chair, his attention fixed on a large work. The drawing, a bucolic pastoral scene with stylized nude figures, was created to serve as a background for the film "Le mystère Picasso". To the right, his daughter Maya Picasso stands in profile, wearing a striped shirt and holding a palette. On the concrete floor of the sparse studio, a wooden ladder leans against a wall and a box is marked "ELECTRICITE PLATEAU".
