Pablo Picasso, shirtless atop a wooden ladder, works on a large bucolic pastoral scene at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice. The drawing paper was to serve as a background for the film "Le mystère Picasso." In the raw, high-ceilinged studio, an assistant steadies the ladder as Picasso’s daughter, Maya, and Jacqueline Roque observe from the right. The dramatic, high-contrast lighting heightens the atmosphere of intense creative concentration, 1955.
