Pablo Picasso, Luis Miguel Dominguin and his wife Lucia Bosè. La Californie, Cannes 1959.

In the sunlit studio of his villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso leans in to examine a ceramic piece held by actress Lucia Bosè. Her husband, the bullfighter Luis Miguel Dominguin, stands beside them, looking on. Captured in 1959, the scene unfolds amidst the creative chaos of the artist’s workspace, with canvases stacked against ornate walls and sunlight from French doors casting dramatic shadows across the cluttered floor.
