In his studio at Notre-Dame-de-Vie, Mougins, Pablo Picasso stands in quiet concentration in 1961. Dressed in a simple shirt and trousers, he intently examines a large sheet of paper. The paint-splattered floor and a tall, lyre-topped easel holding two childlike drawings are bathed in dramatic light. The artist is creating a color crayon drawing, dated September 27, 1961, specifically for Edward Quinn's forthcoming photographic study, "Picasso at work."
