Pablo Picasso with one of the first figures to later become part of "The Bathers" ("Les Baigneuses") sculptures cast in bronze. La Californie, Cannes 1956.

In the sunlit studio of his villa, La Californie, in Cannes, 1956, Pablo Picasso stands casually dressed in a dark shirt and plaid trousers. His right hand rests on one of the first wooden figures that would later be cast in bronze for his sculpture series "The Bathers" ("Les Baigneuses"). In his other hand, he holds an empty picture frame. The room, filled with large canvases and art supplies, is animated by strong sunlight casting sharp, dramatic shadows across the floor.
