Pablo Picasso washing a linocut print to remove surplus ink. Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie, Mougins 1964.

At his Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie home in Mougins, Pablo Picasso leans over a bathtub to wash a linocut print, 1964. Seen in profile, the artist wears a dark sweater as he holds a handheld shower head, spraying water to remove surplus ink from the plate. The domestic setting is distinguished by elaborately patterned wall tiles featuring star, floral, and avian motifs.
