During filming of "Le mystère Picasso". Nice, Studios de la Victorine, 1955.

During the 1955 filming of *Le mystère Picasso* at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, a large, horizontal painting of a reclining nude is propped on a cluttered shelf. The modernist work features a woman with exaggerated, rounded limbs, her body rendered in white and pale yellow against a background of deep red and blue. The raw studio environment is evident in the detritus of art-making—paint tubes, tools, and a soiled rag—that covers the shelf, with charcoal sketches marking the wall behind.
