Something begun as a bouquet has become first a fish, then a cock, and finally the head of a faun. Pablo Picasso at work during filming of "Le mystère Picasso". Nice, Studios de la Victorine, 1955.

A shirtless Pablo Picasso works on a large canvas during the filming of *Le mystère Picasso* at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955. Seen from behind, the artist sits on a simple wooden crate, his brush creating a stylized rooster. This drawing is part of a fluid sequence captured for the film, in which what begins as a bouquet transforms into a fish, then a cock, and finally the head of a faun. His supplies rest on an adjacent bench amidst the studio equipment.
