During filming of "Le mystère Picasso", documentary. Nice, Studios de la Victorine, 1955.

At the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, a painting by Pablo Picasso is propped against a wall during the 1955 filming of the documentary "Le mystère Picasso." The canvas, dated "21.3.55," depicts an abstract reclining nude in bold, black outlines. A strong light source illuminates the cluttered studio setting, casting deep shadows and revealing pencil markings on the wall. To the right of the artwork, a large piece of studio equipment is mounted on a stand, its wires visible. Dark silhouettes at the edges frame the scene.
