Hjalmar Boyesen, who collaborated with Pablo Picasso on mosaics from 1956 to 1958, is seen here engrossed in his craft on a sun-dappled balcony. Hunched over a wooden table scattered with tesserae and tools, he works on a large, triangular mosaic propped against the ornate railing. The panel, representing the crucifixion, is based on a design created by Jean Cocteau in October 1956. Lush foliage and palm trees form the background to the scene.
