During the filming of "Le mystère Picasso" at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955, Pablo Picasso works on the colored ink drawing "Tête de femme". For the film, a special frame was built to hold a sheet of translucent paper, allowing the camera, visible at left, to film the abstract drawing’s creation from the reverse side. Below the artwork, a cluttered shelf holds ink bottles, brushes, and Cinzano boxes, all illuminated by a bright studio light.
