In his studio at Notre-Dame-de-Vie, Mougins, 1961, Pablo Picasso holds a stack of large papers. He stands beside an ornate, lyre-shaped easel displaying two abstract, childlike drawings of faces. One of these is a color crayon drawing he created on September 27, 1961, specifically for Edward Quinn’s book, “Picasso at work.” The brightly lit room contains a small table with paint cans and brushes, while strong front lighting casts distinct shadows onto the wall.
