At La Galloise in Vallauris, Pablo Picasso smiles warmly as his son, Claude, seen from behind, concentrates on drawing his portrait. Encouraged by his father, Claude has depicted a round face with deep furrows and a triangle for a nose on his easel. A young girl in a striped pinafore stands beside Picasso, her expression serious. The room’s background includes a patterned couch and artworks, notably a cubist-style drawing of a face and a dove. 16 April 1953.
