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.

A shirtless Pablo Picasso, arms crossed, stands beside director Henri-Georges Clouzot in a dramatically lit space at the Studios de la Victorine. The two men pause next to a large film camera during the making of Clouzot’s film, “Le mystère Picasso.” A single spotlight illuminates the scene, casting the rest of the room into deep shadow and highlighting a large canvas in the background, featuring a complex line drawing of nude figures created for the production. Nice, 1955.
