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

At his home, La Galloise, Pablo Picasso sits on a shaggy carpet, giving an informal drawing lesson to his children. His daughter, Paloma, dressed in a striped pinafore, kneels beside him, watching with fascination. In the foreground, his son Claude lies on his stomach, completely engrossed in drawing on a large piece of paper. This quiet, domestic moment was captured in Vallauris on April 16, 1953.
