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

Pablo Picasso at work in his Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie studio in Mougins, 1964. Viewed from a high angle, the artist is bent over an ink-spattered workbench, his hands a blur of motion. He is engaged in creating a linogravure rehaussée, using the technique of "rinsed proofs" (*épreuves rincées*). The high-contrast lighting casts his face in deep shadow, drawing focus to the print on the table and the intimate, focused act of creation itself.
