Shirtless atop a tall wooden ladder, Pablo Picasso works on a large-scale pastoral scene, a drawing created as a background for the film "Le mystère Picasso". Below, his daughter Maya stands on stacked crates to offer him a tray of materials, while two other men assist and observe the focused, collaborative process. This behind-the-scenes moment was captured at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice in 1955.
