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

From a high-angle perspective, Pablo Picasso is on his hands and knees on a plush carpet, giving a drawing lesson to his children, Claude and Paloma. The artist leans forward to sketch on a large sheet of paper filled with child-like shapes. Paloma, wearing a striped pinafore, sits and watches intently, while her brother Claude is also engrossed in the artwork. This intimate moment of shared creativity was captured at their home, La Galloise in Vallauris, on April 16, 1953.
