Pablo Picasso working on "La Célestine" where he had to do his signature backwards. "Le mystère Picasso", Nice, Studios de la Victorine 1955.

Seated in profile with focused concentration, Pablo Picasso works on "La Célestine" at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955. The artist, dressed informally in a tank top and shorts, was being filmed for "Le mystère Picasso," a process that required him to sign his name in reverse for the camera. With a paintbrush extended towards his supplies, he is framed by the elements of his craft—an easel leg cuts across the foreground, near a canvas displaying bold, abstract strokes.
