Shirtless and perched on a ladder, Pablo Picasso is deeply engrossed in creating a large bucolic pastoral scene on paper. The drawing was intended as a background for the film "Le mystère Picasso". In the busy workshop, a man holds the ladder steady while the artist’s daughter, Maya Picasso, observes the work from a platform on the right. Dramatic lighting casts long, sharp shadows across the floor of the studio. Studios de la Victorine, Nice, 1955.
