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

At his Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie studio in Mougins, Pablo Picasso works on a linocut in 1964. The artwork, a high-contrast silhouette of a figure, appears wet and glossy as it rests on a stained sheet of blotting paper. This is an example of an ‘épreuve rincée’ (rinsed proof), a technique Picasso was developing. The edge of a sink or developing tray is visible in the background, capturing an intimate moment of the creative process.
