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

From a high angle, Pablo Picasso is captured hunched in concentration at his home, Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie in Mougins, in 1964. Wearing glasses, he holds a brush dripping with dark ink, poised to work on a linogravure rehaussée. The paper before him, one of his so-called *épreuves rincées* (rinsed proofs), displays bold, abstract forms. This soft-focus, black and white photograph reveals a patterned tiled wall in the background, with a small bowl and container on a nearby countertop.
