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, this dark bas-relief is seen in the ground-floor sculpture studio at his home, Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie in Mougins. Carved from a blocky slab, the stylized human face in profile exhibits a rough, textured surface. Its bold features—a prominent nose, heavy brow, and a wide, almond-shaped eye—are emphasized by strong lighting that casts deep shadows, highlighting the three-dimensional quality of the relief.
