Development of goat painting. "Le mystère Picasso", Nice, Studios de la Victorine 1955.

A stage in the development of Pablo Picasso’s goat painting, created during the filming of "Le mystère Picasso" at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955. The animal's head is captured in profile, rendered with bold, dark outlines and blocky areas of light and shadow. Large, curved horns sweep back from the top of its head, and its stylized eye appears as a dark, almond-shaped mark. The background is abstract and textured, with visible horizontal brushstrokes.
