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

Seen from behind, a shirtless Pablo Picasso works on a large canvas depicting a stylized female nude. This photograph was taken during the filming of "Le mystère Picasso" at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice in 1955. The artist, in dark shorts and sandals, is surrounded by the functional clutter of his workspace: weathered cabinets, paint cans on the floor, and a long tray holding dozens of brushes. Strong lighting casts a dramatic shadow of Picasso and his easel onto the floor and the rough plaster wall behind him.
