Studio de la sculpture. Ground floor, Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie, Mougins 1974. (Photographed after Pablo Picasso’s death.)

A still life of artistic objects on an aged wooden surface in Pablo Picasso’s sculpture studio at Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie, Mougins. Photographed in 1974, a year after the artist’s death, the scene is dominated by a massive, earth-toned vessel. It is flanked by small, stylized figurines and a striking mask-like head with a serene expression and a voluminous raffia beard. A single white pencil lies in the foreground, with strong lighting from the left accentuating the eclectic collection's textures and contours.
