Pablo Picasso working on "La Célestine" where he had to do his signature backwards. "Le mystère Picasso", Nice, Studios de la Victorine 1955.

At the Studios de la Victorine in Nice in 1955, Pablo Picasso is captured in profile while filming 'Le mystère Picasso'. Dressed in a tank top and shorts, the artist sits on a simple wooden chair, intently focused on a large canvas. He is at work on 'La Célestine', a piece that required him to sign his name backwards for the camera, the bold signature visible at the bottom of the frame.
