Pablo Picasso at La Californie, Cannes 1956.

In the grand, sun-drenched studio of his Villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso sits in a wicker chair, looking directly at the camera in 1956. The artist, dressed in a red short-sleeved shirt and plaid trousers, is surrounded by his large-scale canvases. Dominating the background is a massive Cubist painting of two nudes, while strong sunlight casts long shadows across the ornate room, illuminating a working space filled with easels, paints, and other artworks.
