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

Photographed in 1974, a year after Pablo Picasso's death, this is the sculpture studio on the ground floor of his home, Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie in Mougins. A classical-style marble male nude, missing its right arm, stands against an exposed stone wall. This classical form is juxtaposed with a dense collection of modern and abstract sculptures, including a large, winged figure with a mask-like face and a smaller, whimsical character in a wide-brimmed hat.
