Pablo Picasso, wearing glasses and a tank top, peeks over a large canvas clamped to an easel in the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955. The central focus is his bold signature, which he had to execute in reverse for the filming of Henri-Georges Clouzot's "Le mystère Picasso." This intimate, behind-the-scenes view captures the artist at work on the painting "La Célestine."
