Pablo Picasso, the writer Michel Leiris, his wife Louise Leiris, owner with Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler of the Leiris Gallery Paris. La Californie, Cannes 1959.

In the cluttered studio of his villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso examines a portfolio of drawings. Presenting the artwork is Louise Leiris, co-owner of the Parisian Leiris Gallery, who gestures towards a page of bold ink sketches. Looking on intently is her husband, the writer Michel Leiris. Surrounded by canvases and sculptures, the three are captured in a moment of focused discussion in 1959.
