Pablo Picasso and Maya Picasso. "Le mystère Picasso", Nice, Studios de la Victorine 1955.

During the making of "Le mystère Picasso" at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice in 1955, Pablo Picasso is captured at work. Seated and viewed from the side, he applies a brush to a large vertical surface illuminated from behind, creating a dynamic composition of silhouetted figures. Standing just behind him, his daughter Maya Picasso, wearing a striped shirt, observes the creative process intently. Her profile is highlighted by the light from the artwork, while various studio supplies, including a CINZANO ashtray, rest on a nearby table.
