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

On the sunlit patio of his villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso discusses a tapestry he designed with expert Pierre Baudouin in 1959. Picasso, in patterned trousers, brings a cigarette to his lips while examining the work. To his left, Luis Miguel Dominguin leans in for a closer look, while Baudouin and Picasso’s son, Paulo (right), hold open the textile. The piece features a bold, modern design with a stylized rooster, and the men's collective focus creates an atmosphere of serious appreciation and review.
