Pablo Picasso showing a linoblock to Edouard Pignon. La Californie, Cannes 1959.

In an informal moment at his Villa La Californie in Cannes, 1959, Pablo Picasso leans over to show a linoblock to fellow artist Edouard Pignon. Wearing a striped shirt, Picasso rests a hand on the arm of the seated Pignon, who holds a cigarette and looks toward the right of the frame. The cluttered studio is filled with art and objects—a small easel displaying bullfighting photos, canvases leaning against furniture—while bright daylight floods in from open glass doors, illuminating the intimate scene.
