Pablo Picasso working on a bucolic pastoral scene on drawing paper which was to serve as background for the film "Le mystère Picasso". Nice, Studios de la Victorine 1955.

Pablo Picasso, seen in profile, works on a vast, wall-sized drawing at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955. The bucolic pastoral scene, rendered in a bold, expressive style, was created to serve as a background for the film "Le mystère Picasso". The artist’s shadow is cast upon the paper, mingling with the painted forms, which include a faun-like figure playing a double-pipe instrument and several nudes.
