Pablo Picasso with color crayon drawing made 27.9.1961 for Edward Quinn's book "Pablo Picasso at work". Notre-Dame-de-Vie, Mougins 1961.

In his studio at Notre-Dame-de-Vie, Mougins, in 1961, Pablo Picasso examines a color crayon drawing he created on September 27 of that year for Edward Quinn's book, "Pablo Picasso at work." The artist, in a light-colored shirt with rolled-up sleeves, is surrounded by his work: an ornate easel holds a sketchbook, a large cubist canvas leans against a support, and other paintings are stacked in the background. Strong directional light from the right illuminates the scene, casting long, dramatic shadows across the floor.
