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 works on a bucolic pastoral scene for the film "Le mystère Picasso" at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955. Seen from behind, the shirtless artist raises his arm to apply a fluid black line to a large surface. His simple, continuous curves form a stylized, seated female figure. A strong light source from the right casts a distinct shadow of Picasso onto the wall beside his minimalist composition.
