Picasso working on the "War and Peace study" drawings on the wall of "Chapelle de la Paix" (or "Temple de la Paix") for the documentary film of Luciano Emmer. (The panels of War and Peace of 1952 were away on exhibition). Vallauris 1953.

Pablo Picasso, shirtless and in dark shorts, stands within a rustic stone archway at the "Chapelle de la Paix" in Vallauris, 1953. He works on study drawings for "War and Peace" directly onto the chapel's curved wall for a documentary by Luciano Emmer, as the original 1952 panels were away on exhibition. An artist’s table cluttered with materials occupies the foreground, while a ladder leans nearby. The bright light creates strong contrasts, emphasizing the varied textures of stone, wood, and skin in this intimate workspace.
