Pablo Picasso, Jacqueline and Clouzot after finishing Scène de tauromachie (Le torero soulevé) during filming of "Le mystère Picasso". Nice, Studios de la Victorine, 1955.

Pablo Picasso, shirtless and contemplative in a director’s chair, sits between his partner Jacqueline Roque and director Henri-Georges Clouzot. This candid moment was captured at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice in 1955, during the filming of "Le mystère Picasso." They are observing the work just after the artist completed the painting *Scène de tauromachie*. To Picasso's left, Clouzot holds a pipe to his mouth, while Jacqueline, to his right, rests her chin on her hand. Studio lights and a film camera reveal the behind-the-scenes setting.
