Drawing lesson given by Pablo Picasso to his children Claude Picasso and Paloma Picasso. La Galloise, Vallauris 16.4.1953.

Propped on his elbow, Pablo Picasso reclines on a daybed at his home, La Galloise, in Vallauris, observing a drawing lesson with his children on April 16, 1953. In the foreground, Claude lies on his stomach on a dark, shaggy rug, focused on a large sheet of paper, while his sister Paloma sits beside him in a pinafore dress. The intimate and casually furnished room contains an armchair with a bold geometric pattern and rolls of paper leaning against the wall.
