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

In a bathroom converted into a studio at his Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie home, Pablo Picasso works with intense focus on a linogravure rehaussée, or épreuve rincée (rinsed proof). Bent over a table, he applies a border of black ink with a wide brush, his left hand steadying the paper. The unconventional setting is detailed by the patterned tile wall, a bathtub behind him, and an ink-stained sink, offering a glimpse into the artist's immersive process. Mougins, 1964.
