Hjalmar Boyesen, who executed mosaics for Pablo Picasso between 1956 and 1958, is captured engrossed in his work on a sunlit terrace. He leans over a table scattered with tesserae and tools, assembling a large triangular mosaic. The piece, representing the Crucifixion, was created from a design by Jean Cocteau in October 1956. Propped against an ornate railing, the mosaic’s abstract patterns stand out against the lush foliage in the background.
