During filming of "Le mystère Picasso". Nice, Studios de la Victorine, 1955.

During the filming of 'Le mystère Picasso' at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice in 1955, Pablo Picasso created this stylized line drawing of a reclining nude. Defined by bold outlines, the figure is propped on one elbow, looking down at an open book. She is set against a background of rectangular panels with contrasting patterns, a modernist composition with a flat perspective that emphasizes the interplay of line and form.
