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

A classical-style marble torso stands in the foreground of Pablo Picasso's sculpture studio at Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie in Mougins, photographed in 1974 after his death. The piece is strikingly juxtaposed with the artist's modern works: a table to the right displays whimsical ceramic pieces, including a stylized rooster, while taller, abstract sculptures in metal and wood populate the rest of the dramatically lit, cluttered space. Deep shadows enhance the textured and atmospheric quality of the scene.
