Pablo Picasso and Hjalmar Boyesen. He collaborated with Pablo Picasso 1956-1958, and executed some mosaics for him. La Californie 1956.

At his villa La Californie in 1956, a seated Pablo Picasso, with his hands clasped, appears in conversation with Hjalmar Boyesen. Boyesen, who collaborated with the artist on mosaics, stands looking downwards while holding a cigarette. The interaction feels natural and unposed within the art-filled studio, where ornate moldings frame a modernist still-life and a Cubist portrait on the wall behind the two men.
