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

In his studio at Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie in Mougins, Pablo Picasso is seen from behind, his long shadow cast upon the wall. A single lamp brightly illuminates his cluttered desk, where he works on a linogravure rehaussée—a rinsed proof or *épreuve rincée*—in 1964. Propped up amidst bottles and other supplies, the artwork displays figures reminiscent of ancient Egyptian art. The high-contrast scene captures an intimate view of the artist at his brightly lit workspace against the surrounding darkness.
