Development of goat painting. "Le mystère Picasso", Nice, Studios de la Victorine 1955.

A stage in the development of Pablo Picasso’s goat painting for the film *Le mystère Picasso*. Captured at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice in 1955, the abstract, cubist-style work depicts the animal’s head in profile, rendered with bold outlines and fragmented geometric shapes. The creature’s prominent, curved horns sweep back from its elongated head, which is composed of patches of white and grey against a mottled background.
