Pablo Picasso at work. Large signature third version (used in the film). "Le mystère Picasso", Nice, Studios de la Victorine 1955.

Seen from the back, Pablo Picasso stands shirtless in the high-ceilinged Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955. With hands on hips, he surveys the space during the filming of "Le mystère Picasso." A single overhead light casts dramatic shadows, illuminating artworks that include two large, freestanding sculptures with graphic patterns. In the foreground, the large canvas of his signature, the third version created for the film, rests on an easel.
