Opening of the Picasso Museum Paris (Musée national Picasso Paris), located in the Marais Quarter. Paris 1985.

An abstract humanoid sculpture in dark, textured metal stands in a corner of the Musée national Picasso Paris during its opening in 1985. The figure has a block-like head, a simple columnar body, and thin arms holding a flat, circular object and a small sphere. Strong light casts distinct shadows on the light-colored walls, accentuating its form above the black and white diamond-patterned tile floor. A decorative wrought-iron railing is visible at the top of the frame.
