In an intimate moment at his villa La Galloise, Pablo Picasso holds a drawing board steady for his son, Claude. Encouraged by his father, Claude attempts a portrait, portraying him with a round face, deep forehead furrows, a triangular nose, and streaks of hair at the sides of his head. Picasso, seated on a daybed in a knit sweater, offers a gentle expression as another child looks on. A framed line drawing, unmistakably the artist’s own, hangs on the wall behind them. Vallauris, 16 April 1953.
