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

Photographed in 1974 after Pablo Picasso's death, the sculpture studio on the ground floor of Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie in Mougins reveals a dense collection of works set against a rough stone wall. A stylized, full-length figure in a pale material stands near a life-sized nude female sculpture. The foreground is a jumble of abstract and organic forms, while a dark, draped figure stands to the right. Warm, uneven lighting casts deep shadows, enhancing the varied textures of stone and sculpture and lending the scene an intimate, rustic atmosphere.
