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

In 1964, at his Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie home in Mougins, Pablo Picasso is captured in a moment of intense concentration. Seen in profile, the artist leans over a counter while working on a linogravure rehaussée, a process creating what were called "épreuves rincées" (rinsed proofs). His left hand steadies the print on a damp surface near a sink, while his right hand is a blur of motion over a white tray. The grainy photograph highlights the focused energy of his creative process against a backdrop of patterned ceramic tiles.
