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 in Vallauris, Pablo Picasso gives a drawing lesson to his children, Claude and Paloma, on 16 April 1953. Lying on his side on a plush rug, the artist smiles and gestures towards an open sketchbook. Kneeling beside him, Paloma looks down intently at the drawing, while on the other side, Claude lies on his stomach, his back to the camera. Both children appear completely absorbed in the warm and candid moment of shared creativity.
