Pablo Picasso discussing with the expert Pierre Baudouin the project for a tapestry designed by him. Luis Miguel Dominguin and at left Paulo Picasso. La Californie, Cannes 1959.

At his villa La Californie in Cannes, 1959, Pablo Picasso gestures animatedly while discussing a tapestry project with the expert Pierre Baudouin. To their left stand Picasso's son, Paulo, and Luis Miguel Dominguin. Viewed from a dark interior, the scene on the sun-drenched patio is framed by a silhouetted bust in the foreground. Bright sunlight casts long shadows of the four men across a patterned rug, with the lush villa garden visible in the background.
