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

A single lamp casts a bright, circular pool of light onto Pablo Picasso's workspace, revealing his work on a *linogravure rehaussée*. The technique, known as *épreuves rincées* (rinsed proofs), is seen here in progress on his cluttered desk. The stark contrast between light and the deep shadow of the surrounding room creates an intimate atmosphere, focusing all attention on the creative process at Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie in Mougins, 1964.
