One day Quinn asked Pablo 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)

Pablo Picasso stares into the camera with a profound and intense gaze in his top-floor studio at Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie, Mougins, in 1967. After agreeing to be photographed by Edward Quinn, the artist began pulling out old and new paintings from his collection. His deeply wrinkled face is framed by the bold geometric pattern of his shirt. His aged hands, one bearing a watch and ring, rest on a white-framed Cubist portrait of a woman, rendered in thick, expressive lines. Other canvases lean against the wall in the background.
