Photographed in 1974 after Pablo Picasso's death, the artist's sculpture studio at Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie in Mougins is flooded with light from large arched windows. A long table is laden with numerous original ceramics, including a prominent vessel decorated with a stylized owl. On the floor, a row of cutouts and bird figures stand on individual bases. A carved wooden sculpture is visible to the far left, while stacks of paintings and large canvas frames lean against the windows of the stone-walled room.
