Studio de la sculpture. Ground floor, Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie, Mougins 1974. (photographed after Pablo Picasso's death)

The sculpture studio on the ground floor of Pablo Picasso’s Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie, photographed in Mougins in 1974, a year after his death. A long wooden workbench stands on the terracotta-tiled floor, its surface crowded with ceramic artworks. Prominent pieces include a large vase with coiled handles, several stylized heads, and a patterned owl. Below the table, painted cutouts and a carved wooden owl rest on the floor, with taller abstract sculptures visible in the background, preserving the artist's creative environment as he left it.
