Pablo Picasso holding a small erotic bronze, Priapus, inspired by some primitive sculptures that had always interested and intrigued him. Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie, Mougins 1969.

At his Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie home in Mougins, 1969, Pablo Picasso intently examines 'Priapus,' a small, erotic bronze figurine resting in the palm of his hand. The work was inspired by primitive sculptures that had long intrigued the artist. Dressed in a light blue knit sweater and dark-rimmed glasses, he holds the sculpture before a vintage television, casting a shadow of his hand and the artwork onto its blank screen.
