Pablo Picasso washing a linocut print to remove surplus ink. Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie, Mougins 1964.

At his home, Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie in Mougins, 1964, Pablo Picasso leans over a ceramic sink, concentrating on washing a linocut print to remove surplus ink. Wearing a V-neck sweater and glasses, he carefully holds the artwork—a modernist line drawing of two figures—under a stream of water. The background wall is covered in intricately patterned tiles, and a small shelf above the sink holds glass bottles and a brush.
