Maya, Clouzot film "Le mystère Picasso”, work on corrida painting

During the filming of Henri-Georges Clouzot’s “Le mystère Picasso,” Pablo Picasso is absorbed in creating a corrida painting. He applies a brush to a large, translucent panel, which is backlit and serves as the primary light source for the dimly lit studio. To his left, his daughter, Maya, stands in profile, intently observing her father’s work. The foreground is cluttered with art supplies, including brushes, bottles of ink, and several Cinzano ashtrays.
