Pablo Picasso and Suzanne Ramié review invitation cards for the 5 April 1961 opening of an exhibition at her Galerie Madoura. In the artist’s cluttered villa, La Californie in Cannes, the pair is surrounded by a vast collection of paintings, ceramics, and musical instruments. On the small table beside Picasso’s chair, an open case of Caran d’Ache wax oil pastels and a paper cutout suggest his concurrent work on the “Oeuf de Pâques.”
