Drawing lesson given by Pablo Picasso to his children Claude Picasso and Paloma Picasso. La Galloise, Vallauris 16.4.1953.

At their home, La Galloise, in Vallauris, Pablo Picasso gives a drawing lesson to his children on 16 April 1953. On a plush, dark carpet, Claude leans forward, holding what appears to be a paintbrush to his mouth as he looks away in thought. Beside him, his sister Paloma lies on her stomach, propped on her elbows and looking down intently at the large sheet of drawing paper they share. In the background, a bed is covered with a dark, patterned blanket.
