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

Pablo Picasso is captured in deep concentration at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955. During the filming of Henri-Georges Clouzot's "Le mystère Picasso," the artist works on "La Célestine," a piece that required him to paint his signature backwards for the camera. Dressed in a tank top and shorts, his face is seen in profile as he sits with his paintbrush poised, surrounded by the functional arrangement of his temporary studio.
