Pablo Picasso with Claude Picasso in "cap et épée" dress, Paloma Picasso with doll. La Californie, Cannes, Christmas 1955.

Pablo Picasso sits on the floor of his studio at Villa La Californie in Cannes on Christmas, 1955. He holds a toy sword, engaging his son, Claude, who kneels before him in a "cap et épée" (cape and sword) costume, holding a simple mask to his face. To the left, his daughter Paloma cradles a large doll as she watches the interaction. The intimate family scene unfolds amidst several of the artist's distinctive cubist canvases, which are propped against the wall.
