Encouraged by his father, Claude Picasso tries to do a portrait of Pablo Picasso, portraying him with a round face, deep furrows on his forehead, a triangle for a nose, and streaks of hair on the sides of his head. La Galloise, Vallauris 16.4.1953.

At his villa La Galloise, an expressive Pablo Picasso sits cross-legged on a shaggy rug, gesturing towards a display board of children's art. He encourages his son, Claude, who looks on pensively, to draw his portrait. The resulting drawing portrays the artist with a round face, deep forehead furrows, a triangular nose, and streaks of hair. A woman and a young girl also lean in to observe the creations. Vallauris, 16.4.1953.
