Pablo Picasso at work during filming of "Le mystère Picasso", documentary. Nice, Studios de la Victorine, 1955.
At the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, Pablo Picasso is captured from behind while working on a large canvas in 1955. Shirtless and engrossed, he applies paint to a stylized, reclining female nude, a process being documented for the film "Le mystère Picasso". A vintage film camera on a tripod dominates the foreground, while the raw studio is cluttered with cans of paint, brushes, and filmmaking equipment. The date "28.8.55" is visible in the upper right corner of the painting, marking the moment of creation.
