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

In this study for a painting, Pablo Picasso renders a goat's head in profile with thick outlines and long, curved horns. The artwork was created in 1955 at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice during the filming of "Le mystère Picasso." The animal's prominent, almond-shaped eye is set against an abstract background of horizontal patterns and simplified foliage, as it appears to nibble on a cluster of white leaves.
