An animated Pablo Picasso, mouth open in laughter, points at a large, owl-shaped ceramic vase during a visit from a Soviet film delegation. Director Grigori Alexandrov and actress Ljubov Orlova help hold the piece for the artist at the Galerie Madoura in Vallauris, 1954. Looking on are fellow delegates Catherine Litvinenko, Klara Luchko, and Serge Youtkevitch, as well as Picasso's son, Paulo. The candid photograph captures the lively interaction against the gallery's rustic stone wall.
