Pablo Picasso working on a bucolic pastoral scene on drawing paper which was to serve as background for the film "Le mystère Picasso" by Henri-Georges Clouzot. Nice, Studios de la Victorine 1955.

In the dimly lit Studios de la Victorine in Nice, Pablo Picasso contemplates a large drawing created for Henri-Georges Clouzot's film "Le mystère Picasso," 1955. With a pipe in his mouth, the artist stands beside his own sculpted likeness, his gaze directed toward the bucolic pastoral scene. Rendered in bold, expressive lines, the work features mythological figures. In the foreground, a large bellows camera is poised, ready to capture the artistic process for the film.
