Pablo Picasso working on linogravure rehaussée, the so called épreuves rincées (rinsed proofs). Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie, Mougins 1964.

In the bathroom of his Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie home in Mougins, Pablo Picasso examines a print in 1964. The artist, wearing dark-rimmed glasses and a V-neck sweater, leans over a linogravure rehaussée, one of his so-called "épreuves rincées" (rinsed proofs). Captured from a high angle, the intimate scene includes an unidentified companion also looking at the stylized artwork. In the background, a porcelain sink is set against an intricately patterned tile wall.
