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

A wide-angle view captures Pablo Picasso’s sculpture studio on the ground floor of Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie in Mougins, photographed in 1974, a year after the artist's death. The rustic space, with its stone walls and archways, is filled with a multitude of dark, modernist sculptures. Crowding the terracotta-tiled floor are figurative busts and heads in bronze, exhibiting a range of abstract styles. A workbench holds a taller piece—a slender figure pushing a cart—while stools, sawhorses, and a stepladder are scattered among the artworks.
