Pablo Picasso with Claude Picasso in "swashbuckler" ("cap et épée") dress. La Californie, Cannes 1955.

In his studio at the villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso watches with a gentle smile as his son Claude strikes a dramatic pose. Dressed in a "cap et épée" swashbuckler costume complete with a wide-brimmed hat and cape, the boy playfully brandishes a fencing sword, pointing it at his father. The intimate scene, captured in 1955, is set amidst several of Picasso's canvases.
