Edouard Pignon and Pablo Picasso. La Californie, Cannes 1959.

In the studio of his villa La Californie, Cannes, a shirtless Pablo Picasso presents a large print to fellow artist Edouard Pignon, 1959. Holding a cigarette, Picasso gestures towards the artwork—a line drawing of a figure beside a horse—which rests on the parquet floor. Pignon looks over his shoulder at the piece, surrounded by the studio's creative clutter of masks, textiles, and canvases propped against the walls and a large wooden cabinet.
