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

In a narrow hallway at his Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie home in Mougins, Pablo Picasso is absorbed in his work. Captured from a high angle in 1964, the artist, wearing glasses and a V-neck sweater, bends in concentration over a small table. He carefully uses scissors on a large sheet of paper while developing a *linogravure rehaussée*, a technique involving what he termed *épreuves rincées* (rinsed proofs). The candid photograph highlights a moment of quiet focus on the hexagonal-tiled floor of the corridor.
