Pablo Picasso fixing the charcoal in the painting "Femme nue allongé [Grand nu allongé]". Nice, Studios de la Victorine 1955.

At the Studios de la Victorine in Nice in 1955, Pablo Picasso, shirtless, reveals a sinewy back as he leans over his work. Wearing dark shorts and espadrilles, he is intensely focused, his head lowered to fix the charcoal in his large painting, "Femme nue allongé [Grand nu allongé]". The Cubist composition, depicting a fragmented reclining nude, is propped at a steep angle and held steady by an assistant whose arm is just visible at the edge of the frame.
