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

In an informal drawing lesson at the villa La Galloise, Pablo Picasso, a cigarette in hand, leans forward from a couch to observe Françoise Gilot. She lies on a shaggy rug, engrossed in drawing on a large board, as their son, Claude, stands watching her. To the right, their daughter, Paloma, sits on the floor in a pinafore, looking directly at the camera with a curious expression. Vallauris, 16 April 1953.
