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.

At the cavernous Studios de la Victorine in Nice, Pablo Picasso works on a bucolic pastoral scene for the film "Le mystère Picasso" in 1955. In the foreground, two figures are rendered as silhouettes, one behind a large film camera. The central focus is the brightly illuminated vertical drawing, a dynamic composition in black ink featuring nude figures and animals in exuberant poses. Dramatic, high-contrast lighting isolates the artwork from the surrounding studio equipment and cables coiled on the floor.
