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

The sculpture studio on the ground floor of Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie in Mougins, photographed in 1974, a year after Pablo Picasso’s death. The rustic room, with its stone walls and terracotta-tiled floor, is filled with a variety of his creations. A long wooden table displays numerous ceramic pieces, including a white owl. Nearby, a life-sized classical statue contrasts with abstract metal forms and a large, orange wireframe sculpture, illustrating the breadth of his artistic output.
