Pablo Picasso washing a linocut print to remove surplus ink. Even though he was nearly eighty at the time he did this work, he enjoyed the physical effort and the adventure. Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie, Mougins 1964.

At his Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie home in Mougins, Pablo Picasso washes a linocut print under running water to remove surplus ink, 1964. Nearly eighty at the time, he enjoyed the physical effort of the process. The artist, wearing glasses and a sweater, leans over the basin in his bathroom, which is decorated with tiles featuring floral arrangements and birds. A shelf above the sink holds various glass bottles, and a bowl containing dark liquid and a brush rests on the countertop.
