Color crayon drawing made Sep. 27 1961 for Edward Quinn's book "Pablo Picasso at work". Notre-Dame-de-Vie, Mougins 1961. (date of the photo).

Created on September 27, 1961, for Edward Quinn's book 'Pablo Picasso at work', this crayon drawing is rendered on a sheet of paper torn from a spiral-bound notebook. The abstract composition features a dynamic, calligraphic red line, a mottled red circle, two leaf-like yellow daubs, and a small smudge of dark green. Quinn photographed the artwork from a top-down perspective at Notre-Dame-de-Vie, Mougins, in 1961, capturing the soft shadow it casts on the textured surface below.
