Pablo Picasso at work on the film "Le mystère Picasso" at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955. Shirtless, he peers from behind camera equipment with an intense gaze. In the dramatically lit background, a large drawing on paper—created to serve as a set piece—displays a bucolic pastoral scene. The black line drawing features mythological figures, including a reclining nude and a faun playing a pipe.
