Pablo Picasso stands beside a painting he has just finished. Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie, Mougins 1962.

In his studio at Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie, Mougins, in 1962, Pablo Picasso stands beside a newly finished painting. Dressed in a vibrant red polo shirt and intricately patterned trousers, he looks directly at the viewer, his left hand resting on the large canvas and his right hand on his hip. The painting depicts a stylized cat in conflict with a lobster-like figure and a fish, rendered in energetic shades of yellow, ochre, and brown. The studio, with its terracotta-tiled floor, is filled with warm, natural light, revealing stacked easels and another painting in the background.
