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.

Pablo Picasso leans forward, chin resting on his hand in deep concentration, as he watches his son, Claude, draw his portrait. Encouraged by his father, Claude stands at a small easel, rendering a childlike image with a round face, deep furrows, a triangular nose, and streaks of hair. Beside them, a young girl in a striped smock also looks on intently. The intimate, studious scene is captured at La Galloise, Picasso’s home in Vallauris, on April 16, 1953.
