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.

At La Galloise in Vallauris on 16 April 1953, Claude Picasso, encouraged by his father, attempts a portrait of the artist. Kneeling in the foreground, the young boy draws a round face with a triangular nose, as Pablo Picasso leans in from behind a young girl with a gentle, focused expression. The intimate, informal setting is revealed by other artworks on the wall—including black silhouette profiles and an abstract line drawing—and a rustic wooden chair, creating a warm atmosphere centered on the quiet act of creation.
