A table with tubs of paint. At bottom left, some paintings inspired by Paloma Picasso and Claude Picasso and on the shelves, some dolls that Pablo Picasso painted on bits of wood for Paloma Picasso. Studio Le Fournas, Vallauris 1953.

In Pablo Picasso’s studio, Le Fournas, in Vallauris, a paint-splattered work table is laden with cans and brushes. At the lower left, several cubist-style portraits inspired by his children, Paloma and Claude Picasso, lean against the wall. On the shelves in the background, amidst an eclectic mix of ceramics and art supplies, are small dolls that Picasso painted on bits of wood for his daughter Paloma. The entire scene, captured in 1953, conveys a sense of a busy and creative workspace filled with both materials and finished works of art.
