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 his villa, La Galloise, Pablo Picasso holds a board displaying a portrait drawn by his son, Claude. The work portrays the artist with a round face, deep forehead furrows, a triangle for a nose, and streaks of hair. Encouraged by his father, Claude kneels on a patterned couch, his attention fixed off-camera. A young girl sits close to Picasso, mirroring his focused gaze. The intimate scene, set amidst the artist's own work, captures a moment of familial creativity in Vallauris on 16 April 1953.
