At his villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso hosts oceanologist Jacques-Yves Cousteau and his wife, the diver Simone Cousteau, in 1958. The artist stands on the right with his arms crossed, observing his guests. Dressed in a suit, Jacques-Yves looks upwards while Simone, wearing a leopard-print coat and pearl necklace, holds her eyeglasses in the foreground with a pensive expression. A fourth man is partially visible to the far left in the studio setting, where paintings can be seen in the background.
