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 villa, Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie, Pablo Picasso leans intently over a simple board placed across the bathtub. This makeshift work surface is where he creates a linogravure rehaussée, a technique known as *épreuves rincées* (rinsed proofs). Wearing a dark V-neck sweater and glasses, the artist is completely absorbed in his task, using a tool to score the print amidst the room's decoratively tiled walls. Mougins, 1964.
