In his studio at Villa La Californie, Pablo Picasso stands for a fitting with his Italian tailor, Michele Sapone. Sapone adjusts a new striped garment he has made for the artist as a birthday present; in return for his creations, Picasso gave the tailor drawings. Surrounded by canvases, including a massive abstract Cubist painting that dominates the background, Sapone carefully tends to the fit of the collar and hem. Cannes, 1956.
