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

In Pablo Picasso's sculpture studio at Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie in Mougins, photographed in 1974 after his death, an eclectic collection of ceramics is displayed on a thick wooden shelf. The varied forms include a white, stylized bird-like figure, a seated figure painted in blue and black, and a standing female figurine. To the right, a large, dark, glossy sculpture of a fantastical creature is prominent. The cluttered, soft-focus background, with larger artworks and frames, preserves the atmosphere of the artist's creative space.
