Pablo Picasso at work during filming of "Le mystère Picasso", documentary. Nice, Studios de la Victorine, 1955.
Shirtless and in profile, Pablo Picasso is captured in a moment of intense creative focus at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice. Holding a long paintbrush and a paint-laden wooden palette, he stands before a large, abstract canvas depicting a reclining nude. The photograph was taken in 1955 during the filming of the documentary “Le mystère Picasso.” On the wall behind him, a chalk inscription notes the date: “21.8.55”.
