Development of goat painting. "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 developmental study for a goat painting. The animal's head is rendered in profile with bold, black outlines and strong contrasts, featuring large, curved horns and a prominent, almond-shaped eye. The more painterly background includes a simple tree, stylized leaves, and a dragonfly, with a cluster of grapes near the goat's mouth.
