During the filming of "Le mystère Picasso" at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955, Pablo Picasso works on the drawing "Tête de femme." For the film, he drew on a sheet of translucent paper stretched over a specially constructed frame, allowing a camera to capture the artwork’s creation from the reverse side. The bold, Cubist-style line drawing is clamped above a cluttered wooden shelf laden with art supplies, including crushed metal containers and ink bottles, set against the studio's rough, unadorned walls.
