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

Leaning over the bathtub in his home, Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie in Mougins, Pablo Picasso washes a linocut print to remove surplus ink. In this candid 1964 photograph, the artist uses a handheld shower head to rinse the plate, concentrating on his work. The intimate, behind-the-scenes moment is set within a bathroom distinctive for its highly patterned walls, covered in decorative tiles featuring floral arrangements and birds.
