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

At the Studios de la Victorine in Nice in 1955, Pablo Picasso meticulously paints his signature backwards on a brightly lit, translucent surface. Dressed in a tank top and shorts, he is being filmed for "Le mystère Picasso" as he works on his "La Célestine" series. Captured in profile, the artist is illuminated by the light from the glass pane itself, which casts the rustic studio into deep shadow and highlights his intense concentration.
