Le Château de Vallauris. Today Pablo Picasso museum with "La chapelle de la Paix". Place de la Libération, Vallauris 1951.

Three elderly residents rest on a bench in the dappled shade of a plane tree on the Place de la Libération in Vallauris, 1951. Behind them stands the Château de Vallauris, its weathered façade and arched wooden door illuminated by the filtered sunlight. The building would later become the Pablo Picasso museum, housing "La chapelle de la Paix." To the left, political posters with anti-fascist slogans stand in contrast to the placid, everyday scene.
