Pablo Picasso, Luis Miguel Dominguin and Paulo Picasso. La Californie, Cannes 1959.

At his villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso stands on a sunlit terrace with his son, Paulo, and the bullfighter Luis Miguel Dominguin in 1959. Viewed from the darker interior, the three men are framed by a bright, open doorway. Picasso, on the right, holds a small tray while smoking a cigarette. In the center, Dominguin has his hands in his pockets, while Paulo, at left, stands with a pipe in his mouth. The high-contrast scene is defined by the long, distinct shadows cast by the overhead sun.
