One day Quinn asked Picasso if he could photograph the top floor studios. He agreed and prcoeeded to take out, one by one, old and new paintings from his collection. Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie, Mougins 1967. (Digitized from Vintage Print, original negative missing)

At his Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie home in Mougins in 1967, Pablo Picasso stands in the top-floor studio he had just opened to Edward Quinn’s camera. Having agreed to the photographer's request, Picasso proceeded to take out paintings, old and new, from his collection. Here, wearing a patterned shirt, he rests his hands on a large cubist portrait of a woman. The studio is filled with stacked canvases, with a handwritten date, "24.10.57.", visible on the back of one work, hinting at the vastness of the artist's private world.
