26.2.1955, funeral of Olga Pablo Picasso, born Khokhlova, Pablo Picasso’s first wife. With her son Paulo Picasso, Georges and Suzanne Ramié (but not Pablo Picasso). Cimetière le Grand Jas. Cannes 1955.
At the Cimetière le Grand Jas in Cannes, a somber funeral service is held for Olga Picasso, née Khokhlova, Pablo Picasso’s first wife, on 26 February 1955. Dressed in dark, formal attire, mourners including her son Paulo Picasso and friends Georges and Suzanne Ramié gather around the polished wooden coffin. While Pablo Picasso himself is absent, a clergyman in ornate vestments conducts the rites. The bright sunlight creates strong shadows on the gravel ground, highlighting the quiet reverence of the scene amidst the stone tombs.
