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

Pablo Picasso, seated on the floor of his studio La Californie in Cannes, shares an intimate moment with his children. To his left, his daughter Paloma, wearing a pinafore, presents a large doll. To his right, his son Claude stands in a "cap et épée" swashbuckler costume, complete with a plumed hat and a small sword. The family scene, captured at Christmas 1955, unfolds against a backdrop of Picasso's large Cubist canvases, which fill the informal working space.
