Pablo Picasso signing autograph for Lucien Clergue. Unveiling of mural "The Fall of Icarus" for the conference hall of UNESCO building in Paris. The mural is made up of forty wooden panels. Initially titled "The Forces of Life and the Spirit Triumphing over Evil", the composition was renamed in 1958 by George Salles, who preferred the current title, "The Fall of Icarus". Vallauris, 29 March 1958.

In a candid moment, Pablo Picasso, wearing a dark flat cap and heavy shearling-lined coat, focuses intently as he signs an autograph for the young photographer Lucien Clergue. Leaning in, Clergue watches the artist, his wire-rimmed glasses a sharp detail. The exchange took place in Vallauris on 29 March 1958, during an event for the unveiling of Picasso's mural, "The Fall of Icarus," a monumental work created for the UNESCO headquarters in Paris. A large ring is prominent on the artist's left hand.
