Pablo Picasso shows a drawing he has done of his friend the writer Jacques Prévert. On the left Susi Magnelli. La Californie, Cannes 24.10.1956. (Eve of Pablo Picasso's 75th birthday.)
On the eve of his 75th birthday, Pablo Picasso stands in his studio at Villa La Californie in Cannes, 24 October 1956. Dressed in a short-sleeved shirt and plaid trousers, he presents a line drawing of his friend, the writer Jacques Prévert—a profile with a dangling cigarette. To the left, Susi Magnelli looks on intently. The light-filled room, cluttered with canvases, bottles, and a birdcage, offers an intimate glimpse into the artist's prolific workspace.
