During the filming of *Le mystère Picasso* at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955, Pablo Picasso is captured in a moment of intense creative focus. Cast in silhouette, he is dramatically illuminated by the brilliantly lit surface before him as he works on *Nature morte*. For the film, Picasso drew on a translucent sheet stretched over a frame, allowing a camera on the other side to film the drawing being born. Below the easel, a cluttered table reveals the tools of his trade, including ink pots and a Cinzano ashtray.
