Pablo Picasso working on a bucolic pastoral scene on drawing paper which was to serve as background for the film "Le mystère Picasso" by Henri-Georges Clouzot. Nice, Studios de la Victorine 1955.
Pablo Picasso stands shirtless in a moment of contemplation at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955. Dressed only in dark shorts and sandals, he is captured in profile with arms crossed amidst film equipment. He was there creating a bucolic pastoral scene to serve as a background for Henri-Georges Clouzot's film "Le mystère Picasso." A large studio light casts a dramatic shadow across the floor, while a bellows camera rests on a nearby crate.
