Hidalgo Arnéra's printing press with a Pablo Picasso linocut. Vallauris 1960.

At Hidalgo Arnéra's printing press in Vallauris, 1960, a linocut by Pablo Picasso is secured within the machine's bed. The intricately carved block depicts a stylized scene with two figures: a reclining nude woman and a standing musician playing a wind instrument. Held in place by metal clamps, the brightly lit relief stands out against the dark, industrial components of the press, with a large roller positioned just above.
