Pablo Picasso during filming of "Le mystère Picasso", documentary. Nice, Studios de la Victorine, 1955.

From a high angle, Pablo Picasso works shirtless on a large canvas, his back to the camera. The scene is the industrial space of the Studios de la Victorine in Nice during the 1955 filming of Henri-Georges Clouzot’s documentary *Le mystère Picasso*. In the foreground, a large motion picture camera and crew members observe the artist as he paints a stylized reclining nude. The date '27.3.55' is visible on the artwork, marking a moment of creation captured simultaneously by both painter and filmmaker.
