Pablo Picasso after 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 a moment of reflection during the filming of "Le mystère Picasso". Dressed in a tank top and shorts, he sits on a wooden crate after working on "La Célestine," a piece that required him to sign his name in reverse. The artist, with hands clasped and a contemplative gaze, is surrounded by the creative clutter of the film set, including a large canvas on an easel to his left.
