Pablo Picasso and Maya Picasso, Jacqueline on the left. "Le mystère Picasso", Nice, Studios de la Victorine 1955.

During the filming of "Le mystère Picasso" at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955, Pablo Picasso hangs two of his modernist paintings. Seen from behind in a T-shirt and shorts, his form casts a prominent shadow across the wood-planked wall under a strong, directional light. His daughter, Maya Picasso, stands to the right watching, while Jacqueline Roque is visible on the left. The bold, high-contrast black-and-white artworks are dramatically illuminated.
