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, his ground-floor sculpture studio at Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie in Mougins appears densely packed with work. A wide-angle view reveals the long gallery, defined by rough stone arches and a tiled floor. A wooden table to the right displays numerous smaller, eclectic sculptures in ceramic and other media. Larger abstract and figurative pieces in wood, metal, and clay fill the alcoves and main floor space, attesting to the artist’s prolific creative environment.
