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 raises his hands in mock surrender before his son, Claude, in 1955. Dressed in a swashbuckler (“cap et épée”) costume with a wide-brimmed hat and cape, Claude lunges theatrically with a stick. The artist, seated on a wooden chair, leans back with an amused expression. The intimate scene of their game unfolds amidst a backdrop of Picasso's work, with large canvases, including a portrait of a woman in a headscarf, filling the creative space.
