Musée Pablo Picasso, Château d'Antibes 1972.

Photographed at the Musée Pablo Picasso in the Château d'Antibes in 1972, this stylized sculpture of a head is captured in profile. Crafted from a coarse, light-colored material, its abstract features—a prominent nose, a single deep-set eye, and a cap-like form—are accentuated by dramatic lighting. The strong light from the upper left creates deep shadows, highlighting the raw, heavily textured surface and the rugged, unfinished base upon which the head rests.
