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

In his sun-drenched studio at the Villa La Californie, Cannes, Pablo Picasso concentrates on a small plate he is decorating. He is observed intently by the bullfighter Luis Miguel Dominguin and his wife, actress Lucia Bosè. Wearing a yellow sweater and red pinafore, Bosè leans forward for a closer view while Dominguin looks over the artist's shoulder. The room, cluttered with paintings, easels, and brushes, is bathed in the warm atmospheric light of the Côte d'Azur in 1959.
