Pablo Picasso discusses a tapestry project with the expert Pierre Baudouin on the sunlit patio of his villa La Californie in Cannes, 1959. Dressed in a dark blue shirt and patterned trousers, Picasso gestures animatedly with a lit cigarette. Also present are Luis Miguel Dominguin, who listens intently, and Picasso’s son, Paulo, standing at the far left. The large, abstract tapestry lies partially unrolled on the ground, its colors vivid under the bright sun that casts long, sharp shadows.
